The Old Administration Building at Fresno City College, designed by architect George McDougall and completed in 1916, showcases a stunning example of Spanish Renaissance architecture. Constructed with solid brick and adorned with classic ornamentation, the building features intricate details such as stone balconies and Moorish geometric designs that highlight its historical significance.

As the only remaining structure from the Fresno State Normal School, the Old Administration Building holds a pivotal place in the evolution of higher education in the San Joaquin Valley. After years of neglect and a near-demolition, it was restored and reopened in 2011, preserving its legacy as a key landmark in Fresno's architectural history.
