Constructed in 1928, the former Lincoln High School was designed by Milwaukee Public School architect, Guy E. Wiley. It replaced the 1887 East Division High School, which was the first building constructed exclusively as a high school in Milwaukee. Lincoln High School and its companion Riverside High School (1615 E. Locust) served students on Milwaukee's east side. The building operated as a public high school until at least 1979. It currently operates as the Lincoln Center for the Arts within the Milwaukee Public Schools system.
Resurveyed as part of Milwaukee Downtown Connector Arch/History Survey (2010), Prepared by Heritage Research.
