Ritch Hall is a Mission Revival building completed in 1906 on the campus of Western New Mexico University in Silver City. Designed by architect Charles Frederick Whittlesey at a construction cost of $30,000, it originally served as a women's dormitory and was named for W.G. Ritch, president of the university's board of regents from 1902 to 1904. The building underwent remodels in 1925 and 1948, and received an extension designed by John Gaw Meem in 1950. It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1988 and is also recognized on the New Mexico State Register of Cultural Properties.
