The David Wilmot Public School for Coloured Children, located in Philadelphia's Frankford neighborhood, is a two-story stone building erected in 1874 in the Italianate style, likely designed by Lewis H. Esler, a prominent architect for the Philadelphia Board of Public Education. The four-bay structure features brownstone sills and arches, with a gable accent over its entrance. A second story addition was constructed in 1908. Named after abolitionist and U.S. political figure David Wilmot, the school was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.
