Huff
Hall, built in 1919 on the site of the original brick structure that housed
the Pearl River County Agricultural High School, is the oldest existing
building on the PRCC campus and one of the oldest buildings on any
community college campus in Mississippi. It is, and has been since
its construction, a men's dormitory. Named after the third principal
of the agricultural high school and first President of Pearl River College,
James Andrew Huff, the building is a three story brick structure of 10,145
square feet with living space for eighty-seven men and an apartment for
a head resident and family.
Huff
Hall was built near the foundation of the first residence hall/school building
which burned prior to Huff Hall's construction. During Pearl River's
era as a boarding agricultural high school, Huff was known as the boys
dorm. Still in use, it sits in the center of the campus, facing College
Drive. Huff Hall is located between the Computer Services building
and Jefferson Davis Hall.
The
impressive size and design of Huff make it a distinguishing landmark at
PRCC...impressive enough that it recently appeared on the cover of the
Mississippi
Supervisor magazine. (left) |
