The Huddleston Building

Photo by Fischer--Yazoo City.

No one can deny this to be a beautiful structure. It is the new Administration building at Natchez College, Natchez, Mississippi, which was built recently by Mr. T. J. Huddleston. The building has been appropriately named for this great educator. Mr. Huddleston saw the need of this building and out of his big heart and out of his own pocket he financed the building. When Mr. Huddleston passes from labor to reward, no monument can do the honor that this building and those who shall enter its doors can do. Here stands a mark of service that will never become obscure to the Negro race.
