Girls' High School was a public secondary school in Brooklyn's Bedford–Stuyvesant neighborhood, housed in a historically significant building at 475 Nostrand Avenue designed by architect James W. Naughton and completed in 1886. The structure exemplified the Gothic Revival and Second Empire styles characteristic of late-nineteenth-century institutional architecture. In 1975, the school merged with the nearby Boys High School to form Boys and Girls High School, which relocated to a new campus at Fulton Street and Utica Avenue. The original building was demolished in 1964, before the merger took place.
