The Ashbel Smith Building, also known as Old Red, is a Romesque Revival building located in Galveston, Texas.

The red brick and sandstone building was built in 1891, registered as a Texas Historical Landmark in 1969, renovated in 1989, and was submerged 6 feet underwater by Hurricane Ike.

The architect of this landmark is Nicholas J. Clayton, and was named after Ashbel Smith in 1949, a Republic of Texas diplomat, and one of the founders of the University of Texas system.

The building was the first building of the University of Texas Medical Branch, and remains so today.[1]
