This report was prepared to document the Women's Old Gymnasium at Northwestern State University through research and physical investigation and to aid in the development of a plan for the preservation of the exterior and the rehabilitation of the interior for occupancy by the National Technical Preservation Center. The research for this historic structure report (HSR) was done in two site visits to Natchitoches, Louisiana, during the summer of 1993. Investigation included the historical and documentary research in the university archives, physical investigation and photographic documentation, and a proposed treatment plan. The Women's Old Gymnasium is a two-story, brick and cast-stone structure designed in the Jacobean Revival style. The structure incorporates 16th-century architectural features with modernist details in the cast-stone work on the front (north) facade. The second story is of double height. The frame is wood and steel. The gymnasium was designed by Favrot and Livaudais, a New Orleans architectural firm.
