Zwemer Hall is a historic Romanesque Revival building on the campus of Northwestern College in Orange City, Iowa, designed by Mankato architect George Pass Sr. and completed in 1894 to serve the then-named Northwestern Classical Academy. The 2½-story brick structure stands on a raised limestone basement, measuring 68 by 72 feet with a distinctive 90-foot tower on its north side. Named for Rev. James F. Zwemer, a Reformed Church in America clergyman and college administrator, the building has served various academic functions throughout its history and now houses the college's administrative offices. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975 and underwent extensive renovation in 1995.
