'''Weld Hall''' at [[Harvard College]], built in 1870, was the second of two important additions to the Harvard campus designed by the architectural firm [[William Robert Ware|Ware & Van Brunt]] (the first being [[Memorial Hall]]).
The building was a gift of William Fletcher Weld in memory of his brother Stephen Minot Weld. Weld Hall represented a new trend toward picturesque silhouettes that became important to American domestic architecture of the later nineteenth century, as can be seen in the [[Queen Anne style]] which was popular during the same period.
