The Anthony and Louise Viaer Alumni Hall, formerly the Administration Building, is a building on the campus of Huston–Tillotson University in Austin, Texas, United States.

Constructed in 1914 in the Prairie School style,[1] it was built of bricks manufactured by Huston–Tillotson students.[2]: 17 

The building was named after Anthony E. Viaer, an alumnus of the Class of 1958 who gave a $1 million scholarship opportunity to university students.[3]

The building was first nominated for National Register listing in 1986, but was not then listed, due to owner objection.[2]: 24  It was listed in 1993.[1]
