Description: Built in 1926, this Jacobethan Revival-style building was likely designed by Walker and Weeks, and has served as a high school since its construction. The building was expanded with additions to accommodate increased student enrollment in the mid-20th Century, which eventually enclosed the front courtyard with a three-story Modern wing and extended the building to the rear. The building features a red brick exterior with sandstone trim, a tall central portion of the front facade with a clocktower, bay windows, and two towers with chamfered corners, decorative stone trim surrounds at the windows, and an H-shaped footprint with a large auditorium wing in the middle of the H on the north side of the building, and an oriel window above the front entrance. The building was extensively renovated in 2015-2017 under the direction of bhsm Architects, with the additions being removed, the east and west wings expanded, and a new wing being built to the north to modernize the facility for contemporary educational needs, while preserving and restoring the original front facade of the building facing the courtyard, as well as character-defining historic interior spaces.
