At the West Gate entrance to campus, you'll find McAlister Hall, former home of the Wheaton Conservatory of Music.
It housed administrative and faculty offices, studios, practice rooms, and rehearsal space for large ensembles.
A major portion of the funds for the McAlister building were donated by the estate of Amelie McAlister Upshur in memory of her father, William H. McAlister. Another contribution to the building fund was made by Charles B. Phillips of Aurora, Illinois which helped complete this building in 1962.
