Harrison Hall is a student dormitory located on the campus of Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College in Perkinston, Mississippi. It was constructed in 1936-37, and was designated a Mississippi Landmark in 2003.

History

Harrison Hall was designed by Gulfport architect Vinson Smith and was constructed in 1936-37 by building contractor Newton and Schmoll of Hattiesburg, Mississippi.[5] The two-story building was renovated in 1974, and air conditioning was incorporated into the design.[6]

From 1937 to 1983, Harrison Hall served as a dormitory for female students.[7] In 1983, the building became a men's residence hall.[7]

Following approval of remodeling plans by the Mississippi Department of Archives and History to insure historical integrity, renovation of the 81-year-old building was completed in 2018. After a dedication ceremony on April 18, 2018, Harrison Hall became the District Office Headquarters for Gulf Coast Community College.[8]

Weddings

During the 46 years that Harrison Hall functioned as a women's residence hall, the lobby was often the focal point of "manless weddings".[9] These were major social events on campus and were elaborate affairs, usually sponsored by student organizations, such as the YWCA.[9] The "weddings" were attended by faculty, students, and out-of-town guests.
