Highland Hall, also known as the Courthouse Annex, was a Presbyterian seminary, historic school building for females, radio school during World War II, and county office building before it became a retirement home that started in construction in 2016. Highland Hall is located at Hollidaysburg, Blair County, Pennsylvania. It was designed by noted Philadelphia architect Samuel Sloan (1815-1884) and built about 1865. It is now a four-story, "L" shaped stone building. It features a mansard roof, a characteristic of the Second Empire style. It was originally built to serve as a Presbyterian seminary for both sexes. It became a female academy and officially named Highland Hall in 1911. It continued to be used as a girls' school until 1940. It became a county office building in 1969.^[2]

Highland Hall was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.^[1] Highland Hall has been turned into a 65 and older affordable housing facility constructed by Keller Engineers, and S&A Homes^[3].
