Designed in the Mission Revival style by New Orleans
Architect, Rathbone Emile DeBuys and built by Chevally &
Fursden Contractors of Gulfport, the Administration
Building was one of the first buildings constructed for the
Gulf Park College for Women. Completed in 1921, the
Administration Building served as the classroom and office
center of the school, which was among the earliest accredited
colleges for women in the South, and it continued in that
capacity even after the campus was acquired by the University
of Southern Mississippi in 1972.

The building suffered major damage by Hurricane Katrina
in 2005 and was demolished in 2013. The original foundation
walls and stairs remain to preserve the site and to memorialize
the building's historical significance in the
development of the campus.
