Description:
Caption: "Great Southern Hotel -- Gulfport -- Mississippi -- June 19, 34." The Great Southern Hotel, built in 1902-1903 by entrepreneur Joseph T. Jones (also the founder of Gulfport), offered luxurious amenities such as telephones in each room, baths, hot and cold running water, billiards, gardens, and a tennis court. The hotel was hit hard by the Great Depression in the 1930s, even closing briefly. After a short-lived revival in the 1940s, the hotel was demolished in 1951 to make way for U.S. Highway 90.
