This Romanesque brick building was the high school in Springdale, Arkansas. It currently serves as the school districts administration building. The structure was built in 1910. The building was placed on the National Register of historic places in 1994. It is beautifully situated on a site of approximately five acres, which it shares with a colonial style elementary school that is also a part of the administration facilities. I am sure that when this building was built, it was the largest and most imposing building in town. I speaks volumes about the importance that was placed on the education of children in this town at the turn of the century.

....just tell me it's replacement is just AS imposing and that the importance has not been lost. :)
(I know, I know... "glass half full"... but I'm a bit of a cynic when it comes to education budgets in local politics!)
Excellent photos! That is a beautiful building and it looks like it's been well maintained.
I love that architecture.
It's a beautiful old school and I'm glad there are plans to keep it in good condition.
I enjoyed the great shots and the history of the building. I think it is great to preserve these structures.
I really enjoy old red brick houses and buildings. This one's a beauty. happy tuesday!
It's beautiful and nice to see it, so well maintained after those long years :)
Be still my ex-teacher's heart!
This is certainly no cookie cutter building is it!
Lovely image!
Happy Ruby Tuesday!
There's something appealing about brick buildings. They are so substantial looking, yet unpretentious. Very nice choice for Ruby Tuesday.
Beautiful building. Easy to guess it was a school at one time.

Looks very majestic. I wouldn't mind going to that school :o)
Very red bricks! good shots of a classic Southern structure.
A work of art. It seems that real style was a hallmark of architects and builders in those days. Modern buildings seem to be devoid of character, with glass and steel predominating. Modern isn't bad, just of less imposing character...
Beautiful building with an impeccable architecture, excellent Ruby.

Beautiful historic building full of character. I really like the entrance and the arched windows, and of course, the red brick. Wonderful photos! Thanks so much for sharing them.
Driller, that's an incredible building! The architecture is lovely. I just love RED buildings! Happy Ruby Tuesday!
