excellent example of an educational building in the Colonial Revival style built during a period when emergency funds were made available and many projects of this type were completed. The original L-shaped building is a two-story masonry structure and rests on a masonry foundation. The lateral gabled roof\u00a0 consists of a steeply-pitched A-frame with asphalt shingles. The original building\u2019s elongated main block consists of a highly ornate rectangular central section featuring a row of twelve monumental pilasters and two-story flanking, projecting, gabled entrance pavilions. The building\u2019s main fa\u00e7ade features a beveled cast stone water table, a cast stone architrave resting atop the pilastrade, cast stone quoins, and a cast stone surrounded entry portal containing a frieze and cornice. At either end of the central block are symmetrical wings that are recessed and less ornate. The rear elevation is less decorative in detailing and fenestration when compared with the building\u2019s fa\u00e7ade. Additions to the wings of the building were made in 1956, 1965, and 1986. Listed in the National Register October 1, 2004.<\/p>\n
