Old Georgetown High School

Old Georgetown High School is a two-story brick school at 507 E. University in Georgetown, Texas. Built in 1923 and expanded in 1948, it was designed by the firm C.H. Page and Bro. and built by Wattinger Bros/Taylor. The building has a three-part layout, with one-story sections projecting from a central two-story block. Its Spanish Colonial Revival character shows in Mission-style parapets, a clay tile pent roof, decorative tile on both floors, and ornate cast-iron work in slightly projecting corner bays. The main entrance has a large cast-stone fanlight and pilaster. A gym was added at the rear, and temporary classrooms and a garage-workshop stand to the north. It is considered a rare example of its style in Georgetown and occupies the site of the original Southwestern University campus. It sits in a residential neighborhood southeast of the central business district, among mostly turn-of-the-century houses. The building was recently rehabilitated, is in excellent condition and remains in educational use.
