Knoxville Junior High School
Also known as: Knoxville Middle School
Why it's listed
Knoxville Junior High School is a school building in Pittsburgh, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. It was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1987 in the building category. The readable portion of the nomination consists mainly of form headings and blank entries, so the physical description, construction dates, architect or builder, and specific reasons for significance cannot be confirmed from the text. The surviving material indicates the nomination was made under architecture and notes that the building's growth over time is discussed. Further details on its design, alterations, and historical role would require the complete nomination text, which is not legible in this copy.
Significance in brief: The nomination states that the school building is nominated under architecture, but the OCR text of the statement of significance is largely form labels and does not explain the basis for architectural significance. The document does not give a clear argument for significance in the readable text.

What listing means for this property
For a publicly owned building or structure, listing mainly matters when federal funds, permits or licences are involved: projects then go through Section 106 review so effects on the property are considered. Listing also strengthens applications for preservation grants and, for leased income-producing uses, can enable the federal rehabilitation tax credit.
