Mississippi Industrial College seen from the campus of Rust College (click photo > Actions > View All Sizes > Original for a closer look at the buildings)

The principle buildings of the campus are, left to right:
1 Cathrine Hall
2 Washington Hall
3 Carnegie Auditorium
4 Hammond Hall
5 Davis Hall

All but Davis Hall were built early in the twentieth century. Davis Hall, the gymnasium, was built in the 1950s. In the late 1970s, when Davis and Hammond were not being used, the school hired my office to renovate those two buildings and to link them as a new Multi-Learning Center. This project was funded by state (MIssissippi Department of Archives and History), regional (Appalachian Regional Commission), and federal (Economic Development Administration) grants, under the Carter Administration.

When Ronald Reagan took office in 1981 all federal funding was rescinded, and the school eventually closed under the strain.
