Fitch Hall, a dormitory at the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology in Socorro, stands as a representative example of California Mission Revival architecture. Built in 1937 by architects Brittelle & Ginner, the stuccoed masonry structure is distinguished by its rectangular plan, curvilinear gables flanking the sides, and a projecting entry porch with a flat roof and arched openings. The building is crowned with traditional mission tile. Originally designed to house students, it was repurposed to accommodate the institute's Department of Communication, Liberal Arts, and Social Sciences, along with the Writing and Communication Lab. The building was recognized on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989 and remains listed on the New Mexico State Register of Cultural Properties.
