History and features

[edit]

Designed by Irwin T. Catharine and built in 1930-1931, it was a three-story, fifteen-bay, brick building that was erected on a raised basement in the Colonial Revival-style. It featured two projecting entrances with stone surrounds, a central entrance with four Doric order columns, projecting brick pilasters, and a brick parapet.[2] The listed building has been demolished and replaced with the modern Universal Audenried Charter High School.

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.[1]
