Gulfport, Mississippi, circa 1906. "Powerhouse of the Great Southern Hotel." 8x10 inch dry plate glass negative, Detroit Publishing Company. View full size.
Although the Great Southern Hotel was torn down around 1950, the Power Plant building - or atleast portions of it -- remained in use until Hurricane Katrina gutted it in 2005. In the 1960's through the late 1980's, the building housed the local Ford dealership -- some parts of the building were demolished or remodeled to accommodate the dealership. The narrow part of the building -- the north end, fronted on what is now 13th Street in downtown Gulfport.
