Earl Hall is a building on the campus of Columbia University. Built in 1900–1902 and designed by McKim, [Mead & White], the building serves as a center for student religious life. It was listed on the National [Register of Historic Places] in 2018 for its historic role in serving as a venue for meetings and dances of the Columbia Student Homophile League, the oldest LGBTQ student organization in the United States.
