Highland Hall, National Register courthouse in Hollidaysburg, United States.
Highland Hall stands as a four-story, L-shaped stone structure with a mansard roof, displaying the architectural elements of the Second Empire style in Pennsylvania.
The building, designed by Philadelphia architect Samuel Sloan in 1865, transformed from a Presbyterian seminary to a radio school during World War II and later a county office.
The structure represents the educational progression in Pennsylvania, functioning as both a Presbyterian seminary and a female academy throughout different periods.
Located at 517 Walnut Street in Hollidaysburg, the building now serves as residential housing for individuals aged sixty-five and older since 2016.
The structure spans 4.3 acres and maintains its original architectural features while adapting to multiple functions over 150 years of continuous use.
