Earl Hall stands on the Columbia University campus in Manhattan, designed by the prominent firm McKim, Mead & White and completed in 1902. Originally constructed to serve as a center for student religious life, the building gained historical significance as a gathering place for the Columbia Student Homophile League, the oldest LGBTQ student organization in the United States, whose meetings and dances it hosted. This role earned the building its listing on the National Register of Historic Places in 2018. The structure remains an active part of campus life and has continued to serve as a focal point for student activism into the present day.
