The original building dates from 1876, and a lower addition was built on the north side in 1919. It sits on an ashlar foundation under a gable roof, with vertical accentuation, pilasters, tall 12/12 windows and plain fenestration. Corner pilasters turn into brackets at the cornice. The 1919 addition shows Jacobethan influences, though the inventory describes it as quite unsympathetic to the original. The school stands next to a playground, close to the road and visible from it. It was still in use as a school and in good exterior condition when surveyed in 1978. Its significance rests on its age: the inventory identifies it as one of the oldest school buildings remaining in Cincinnati. It was included in the Columbia-Tusculum multiple resource area.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Functional/Jacobethan","criteria":[],"status_note":"Listed as in good exterior condition and still in use as a school at the time of the inventory.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:53:12.156942-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/79002697.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/79002697/4e3d08816d-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/79002697/4e3d08816d-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Nyttend","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:McKinley_School_in_Cincinnati.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Nyttend</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:McKinley_School_in_Cincinnati.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71985444","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McKinley_School_(Cincinnati,_Ohio)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q6801935"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/hamilton-county/mckinley-school-79002697/"}
