Additional Comments

A 'site file' exists for this property. It contains additional information such as correspondence, newspaper clippings, or historical information. It is a public record and may be viewed in person at the Wisconsin Historical Society, State Historic Preservation Office. ORIGINAL BUILDING WAS DESIGNED BY LUCAS BRADLEY; CHANDLER AND PARK DESIGNED THE 1897 ADDITION. Originally the "Third Ward School", this is among Racine's oldest schoolhouses. It was one of three buildings erected in the same year from the same plan by contractor, Lucas Bradley (the others were 4th Ward Janes and 5th Ward Garfield). In 1897 Racine architect, James Gilbert Chandler, remodeled this structure, adding dormers and the tall entrance pavilions with ornamental sheet work. The two-story CCB school was then renamed after Horatio G. Winslow, a well known local educator. The northwestern addition was considered a non-contributing resource in the National Register nomination. The remainder of the building is contributing.
