It is described as a good example of nineteenth century functional public school architecture. It is included as part of a group of works by Hannaford.","narrative":"Camp Washington School, also known as the Eighteenth District School, sits at 1326 Hopple Street in Cincinnati. It grew in three stages. Earlier schools on the street, built in 1845 and 1869, proved too small for the rapidly growing neighborhood, so a new building designed by Samuel Hannaford was finished in 1882 at a cost of $63,700. With 27 rooms and 1,350 seats, it was the largest public school in the city. The brick facade has eight bays, a projecting central pavilion with a gable end, Corinthian pilasters, limestone trim and a decorative limestone entrance. Architect Harry Bevis designed a plainer addition to the west in 1908, and a boiler plant and more classrooms were added to the rear in 1916. The original section is regarded as a good example of nineteenth century functional school architecture and was included among the works of Hannaford. The surrounding area is mainly commercial and industrial buildings from the late nineteenth century.","period_of_significance":"1882, 1908, 1916","architect_builder":"S.
