Taylor & Sons.","why_significant":"The nomination presents it as a typical early twentieth-century school with local decorative brick and stonework. It served Roseville's education for over fifty years, including the children of the village's art pottery workers. It was also a symbol of the village's growth during the pottery boom.","narrative":"Roseville High School is a two-story, H-shaped school built in 1914 at the corner of North Perry and Stokeley Streets in Roseville, Muskingum County. Constructed of ironspot brick on a brick foundation with a beveled stone water table, it has a recessed center entrance bay, flared side bays that held fire escapes, and a truncated hip roof covered in locally made red tile. A semi-hexagonal stage projection sits at the rear, and four pierced chimneys rise from the roof. Inside, the plan is largely original, with four rooms per floor, original oak flooring and a small basement gymnasium. The school was built when Roseville was growing as a center of art pottery production, and it educated many pottery workers and their children. After a new high school opened in the 1930s, the building served as an elementary school until 1970, when it was abandoned during district consolidation. A local non-profit later sought to convert it into a day care and community center.","period_of_significance":"1900-","architect_builder":"C.W.
