Old Town BSL District #649

1926-1927 - Spanish Revival (Contributing)
Bay High School/Second Street Elementary School Two-story, brick, eleven-bay-wide, Spanish Revival style school with symmetrical façade and flat roof. The main entrance, composed of double doors with a large single-light transom, is located on the center bay. It is flanked by two tiers of fluted pilasters that support full entablatures with decorated friezes and denticulated cornices. Windows above the main entrance are paired, replacement 1/1 double-hung-sash windows. The center three bays advance forming a shallow pavilion with first floor windows that are paired, 1/1 sash windows, and second-story windows that are paired, round-arched windows divided by fluted pilasters. The windows on the main façade are set into two-story, brick, round-arched panels. The first and last bays are quad, replacement 1/1 double-hung-sash windows which advance, slightly, forming shallow pavilions which are topped with shaped parapets. A shaped, scalloped parapet also extends across the center bays. Other decoration includes patterned relief work and cartouches. Side entrances are located on the front façades of the shallow wings. The stucco covering was a later alteration. A large, two-story brick addition was added in the 1930s. A more contemporary addition is located at the rear of this addition.
