Description Architects: • E.B. Gregory • Stanford White
-The building was originally meant to house Westminster University, marketed as the "Princeton of the West."
- In 1920, the building was bought by the Pillar of Fire Church, notable at the time for its support of both women's rights and white supremacy. The Ku Klux Klan held meetings and cross burnings on the property in the 1920s.
- The Pillar of Fire Church later rejected its relationship with the KKK in the 1990s and today operates the Belleview Christian College and Bible Seminary out of Westminster Castle.
