Context/Comments
A two-story brick building, consisting of a hip-roofed central block flanked by flat-roofed wings. The central block is surmounted by a square cupola, and is fronted by a hexastyle colonnade of the Greek Doric order, giving the building a “Greek Revival Revival” character, suggestive of “Devereux” and similar in character to the U.S. Post Office in Columbus. This building was included in the "List of Outstanding School Buildings" in the 1950-51 edition of The American School and University.
