Jefferson St. (at Decatur St.) in Sandusky, Erie County, Ohio, built in 1909 to a design by Henry Millott Sr. for a German national parish.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the building matters because it was built as a grade school consolidating two earlier grade schools of a German National Parish. It later grew into a two-year high school in 1919 and a four-year high school in 1923, giving secondary education to youth of German extraction.","narrative":"Built in 1909 at 410 W. Jefferson Street in Sandusky, this three-story limestone building was constructed as a grade school for a German National Parish, replacing and consolidating two earlier grade schools. Its walls are rock-faced ashlar over a stone water table and above-ground basement, and the flat roof has a battlement-style parapet with pointed stone cornices. The arched entry has colored leaded glass with symbols of faith and learning, four protruding pilasters, and a cross at the roofline. A commercial course had been offered as early as 1902 and continued here. In 1919 the school expanded to a two-year high school, and in 1923 a four-year high school began alongside the primary school, offering secondary education to youth of German extraction. An addition was made on the south in the 1920s and another on the east in the early 1950s. It is the largest of six interconnected buildings in the parish school complex and remains in use as a high school.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Henry Millott Sr. (architect or engineer)","architectural_style":null,"criteria":[],"status_note":"Used as a high school; interior and exterior condition both listed as very good.
