Its buildings date from 1929 to 1993, and the original brick buildings were designed by architect Charles C. Hartmann.","why_significant":"The campus is significant locally in the educational history of Greensboro (Criterion A) and in its architecture (Criterion C). It preserves a 1929 streamlined Gothic Revival core and later modern buildings. The period of significance runs from the school's 1929 opening to 1956, when the Home Economics and Music Buildings were built.","narrative":"Greensboro Senior High School, also known as Grimsley Senior High School, is a campus of twenty-three buildings and structures on roughly fifty-eight acres off Westover Terrace. The academic buildings are arranged in a semi-circle around a front lawn, with the three-story Main Building at the center. Designed by Charles C. Hartmann and opened in 1929, the Main Building and its companions use red brick, cast stone trim, buttresses and crenellated cornices in a streamlined Gothic Revival manner. Later additions include mid-century modern buildings such as the 1956 Home Economics Building, gymnasiums, a field house, and a stadium completed in 1949. The campus reflects Greensboro's school-building programs of the 1920s, when brick schools replaced modest frame ones, and the school had earlier been a statewide leader in education. It is recognized for its role in local education and for its architecture, with a period of significance from 1929 to 1956. Fifteen resources contribute to its character, and eight, mostly built later, do not.","period_of_significance":"1929-1956","architect_builder":"Charles C.
