Old Gulfport High School, located at 2010 15th Street, in Gulfport, Mississippi, is a two-story, brick building that was used as a public school from the 1920s until the latter half of the 20th century.[7] The structure was designed in Tudor architectural style by architect Noah Webster Overstreet and was built in 1923 by Algernon Blair Construction Company[2] The building complex was designated a Mississippi Landmark in 1999.[8]
Having stood vacant for a number of years, the old high school building and grounds were selected by the General Services Administration in 2000[3] as the site for construction of the Dan M. Russell Jr. United States Courthouse.[9] Included in the construction of the federal courthouse was the renovation of the old high school building for use as a federal court office complex by the U.S. Attorney and probation officers.[10] Renovation was completed in 2003, and the old high school was designated the Dan M. Russell Jr. Courthouse Annex.[4] A multi-modal transportation center was constructed on the site of the former Gulfport High School Administration property, just south of the old high school.[11]
