Built in 1910, Westcott Administration Building is the architectural
centerpiece of Florida State University campus. This Collegiate Gothic building was known originally
as the Administration Building. In 1936, it was renamed James D.
Westcott Memorial Building in honor of the Florida Judge who
bequeathed his entire estate to the Florida State College in 1887. In
April of 1969, most of the interior was destroyed by fire. The
renovation of the inside was completed in 1973; the exterior retains
its original architectural integrity.
