U.M. Rose School
The U.M. Rose School is a historic school building at the corner of Izard and West 13th Streets, on the campus of Philander Smith College in Little Rock, Arkansas. A two-story U-shaped Colonial Revival brick building, it was built in 1915 to a design by Arkansas architect Charles L. Thompson, and was called "by far the best constructed" of any building in Little Rock.
It served the city as a primary school for many years. It is now known as the James M. Cox Administration Building, and houses the college's administrative offices.
The school is named after U. M. Rose, a prominent lawyer and judge.
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.
