Built in 1890 in Scotch Plains, New Jersey, this Renaissance Revival school was designed by the prominent architectural firm McKim, Mead & White, with Stanford White serving as the principal designer. Originally constructed as an elementary school, it was converted to a high school within a decade of opening, then reverted to elementary use in 1926 before closing in 1974. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978, but was destroyed by arson in 1984 and subsequently demolished.
