Dupree Sons Co. as contractor.","why_significant":"The form argues the school is architecturally significant as an early-20th-century \"modern\" educational building in a town dominated by 19th-century school buildings, with a spread-out, one-story plan and large windows. Its Renaissance detailing links the modern design to architecture of the past. In education terms, it was the first new school built after the consolidation of the public schools in the early 1920s.","narrative":"Built in 1922 on eight acres along Rome Street, Cave Spring High School is a one-story, H-shaped school of stuccoed brick on brick foundations. Each long arm of the \"H\" has a raised central pavilion with paired pilasters and round-arched windows flanking a round-arched entry, while the end pavilions carry Palladian window motifs. Corridors cross at the center and are lined with classrooms and offices. Lockwood & Roundstone designed it, and J.F. Dupree Sons Co. built it for the City of Cave Spring. The building was considered significant because it brought an early-20th-century approach to school design to a town of 19th-century educational buildings, with a low, spread-out plan and very large windows. Renaissance-inspired details tie that modern layout to older architectural traditions. It was also the first new school built after local public schools were consolidated in the early 1920s. The main building is largely unaltered, though rear additions, playgrounds and parking areas have been added over time.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Lockwood & Roundstone, architects; J.F.
