| Additional Information: | Rising two stories, this educational structure is faced with brick and trimmed with stone (or concrete). A narrow band of trim runs along the top of the structure and features trapezoidal shapes; similar, raised trapezoids outline the randomly arranged windows along both levels. Entrances are vertically delineated of brick and contain a projecting overhang above the first level, while the area above the overhang includes additional, raised shapes that suggest the world map. Designed by the firm of Schutte & Mochon, this large school building was built in 1968 and was originally named Frank Lloyd Wright Junior High. The building continues to function as an educational facility and has been converted for use as a middle school. |
