A brick industrial building with Mission Style and Italianate features; prominent shaped parapet over entrance, between two towers. The Industrial Education Building, constructed to house the ambitious but short-lived Textile School of what was then Mississippi Agricultural and Mechanical College, now stands as the oldest extant academic building on the Mississippi State University campus as well as a significant monument in the history of industrialization, and particularly of cotton manufacturing, in Missisippi. |
