Tubman High School in Augusta, Georgia, is a three-story brick Beaux-Arts building constructed in 1917 to designs by G. Lloyd Preacher. Originally founded as Neely's Institute in 1874 and later named for Augusta philanthropist Emily Harvie Thomas Tubman, the building was funded through a bond issue and features decorative terra-cotta detailing characteristic of its architectural style. From its opening until the 1950s, it served as the area's only public high school for girls; it transitioned to a co-educational junior high school in 1951 and now operates as a middle school. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.
