It was designed by A. Ten Eyck Brown and built in 1922, with additions in 1949.","why_significant":"The school is an excellent example of an urban public school in the Romanesque Revival style, designed by the well-known Atlanta architect A. Ten Eyck Brown. It also represents the first generation of modern public schools built in Atlanta for African-American students, during the city's 1920s school-improvement campaign.","narrative":"Built in 1922 in Atlanta's Pittsburgh neighborhood, this two-story brick school with a reinforced-concrete frame was designed by architect A. Ten Eyck Brown, with Alfredo Barili, Jr. as associate architect. Its Romanesque Revival character shows in a diaper-patterned brick entrance pavilion, a machicolated corbel table, an arched entry and a red-tile parapet. Banks of casement windows mark the classrooms along double-loaded corridors. In 1949 the firm Tucker and Howell added classroom wings, a library and an auditorium/cafeteria. The school was built after a 1920s survey rated most of the city's Black schools poorly, and it reflects a bond-funded campaign to improve facilities for African-American students. It also served adults through a night school. The school closed in 1979 and stayed vacant until it was converted to loft apartments in 2003, keeping its interior plan and many historic materials.","period_of_significance":"1922-1955","architect_builder":"A.
