Summary
[edit].jpg&action=edit§ion=1){kind=link}
| Description | This is the old Woodward High School in Cincinnati's Pendleton neighborhood. The Renaissance Revival-style building was constructed in 1907-10, with US President William Howard Taft, who graduated from the school in 1874, laying the cornerstone for the building. Woodward High School is the oldest high school in the city, and was the first major public school in the city, opening in 1831 on land donated by William and Abigail Cutter Woodward, who are buried on the property. The original two-story building lasted from 1831 until 1855, when it was replaced with a large Gothic structure, which in turn made way for this building in 1907. Woodward High School at the time was one of the most modern high school facilities in the world, with 150 rooms that included two indoor pools, flush toilet facilities, central heating, a large centrally-located auditorium, and a gymnasium within the walls of the structure. However, the building became increasingly unsuited and constrained for modern high school needs by the time World War II was over, and the high school departed for a new facility in Bond Hill in 1953, which has since been replaced with a new building. The old building then served as Abigail Cutter Junior High School from 1953 until 1977, when the School of the Creative and Performing Arts took over the building, remaining in it until 2010, when a new building was constructed near Music Hall on one side of Washington Park. The building was then vacant until very recently, when it was converted by Core Redevelopment into the Alumni Lofts, very well detailed apartments that are located in close proximity to Downtown, the Pendleton Arts District, Ziegler Park, and Over-the-Rhine. |
