Gulf Park College (Gulf Park campus, USM), Long Beach (1921-1926). Founded as a junior college for girls east of downtown Long Beach, the remaining three buildings on the front campus are both architecturally and historically significant. With two buildings designed by New Orleans architect Rathbone Debuys and the third by Jackson architect N.W. Overstreet, the buildings maintain a Spanish style popular on the Gulf Coast in the 1920s. Unfortunately, as part of the designation, the MDAH Board of Trustees agreed to allow the demolition of Debuys’ Administration Building, leaving only two original buildings on the campus.
