The Old Administration Building in Fresno, California is a remarkable example of Spanish Renaissance architecture, featuring handmade hard-burned bricks, classic ornamentation, and stone balconies overlooking central courtyards. Constructed in 1916, it served as the first permanent building on the Fresno State Normal School campus and played a significant role in the advancement of school architecture in the state.
After years of standing empty and facing the threat of demolition, the building was restored and reopened in 2011. Today, it stands as the only surviving complex from the Fresno State Normal School and serves as a testament to the rich educational history of the San Joaquin Valley.
