This photograph showcases the Power House of the Great Southern Hotel in Gulfport, Mississippi, dating back to the early 1900s. The image, captured between 1903 and 1910, offers a glimpse into the rich history of this iconic building. The Power House, with its imposing facade, served as the energy source for the adjacent Great Southern Hotel, providing electricity and steam power to the establishment. The photograph, a dry plate negative glass 8 x 10 in, was taken by an unknown photographer, likely during the construction or early operation of the Power House. The image reveals the building's impressive smokestack, towering above the surrounding landscape, and the road that runs parallel to the Power House, making it a prominent feature along the thoroughfare. The Great Southern Hotel, a historic landmark in its own right, was a popular destination during the early 1900s, attracting visitors from across the country. The Power House, with its state-of-the-art technology, ensured the hotel's guests enjoyed modern comforts and conveniences. This photograph, now part of the Library of Congress's extensive collection, offers a unique perspective into the past, showcasing the architectural beauty and engineering prowess of the early 20th century. The Power House, with its intricate details and industrial charm, stands as a testament to the ingenuity and progress of the time. The image, though devoid of color, is a vibrant piece of history, inviting us to explore the stories of the past and appreciate the heritage of the Great Southern Hotel and the city of Gulfport.
