Its architect was Joseph W. Anschutz and its builder was H.A. Miller & Son, and it is in Colonial Revival style.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the building represents one of the last designs of Joseph W. Anschutz as architect of the Philadelphia School District and fully documents his shift to the Colonial Revival. It is listed as part of the Philadelphia Public Schools thematic resource group under architecture criterion C.","narrative":"Built in 1899-1900 on East Ontario Street in Philadelphia, this three-story stone school was designed by Joseph W. Anschutz, architect for the Philadelphia School District, and constructed by H.A. Miller & Son. The building has five projecting registers, each topped by gables, with Palladian windows in the gables and paired sash on the side registers. Its central register has rectangular openings on the lower floors and arched openings above. The original school held 15 classrooms, but the district built additions within a decade: a 1902 wing with six classrooms and a 1910 wing with twelve classrooms and a gymnasium. The building is significant because it is considered one of Anschutz's last works for the district and documents his move to the Colonial Revival style. It remains in use as a school and is listed as part of the Philadelphia Public Schools thematic group.","period_of_significance":"1899-1900","architect_builder":"Joseph W. Anschutz (architect); H.A.
