Washington Junior High School and Jefferson Grade School in Clinton, Iowa is an Art Deco structure designed by Des Moines architects Karl Keffer and Earl E. Jones, with A. H. Morrell as associate architect. Built between 1933 and 1935 by Ringland-Johnson Company, the two-story brick building features stone trim and accent panels, with geometric relief designs of particular note at its entrance. The original structure was expanded with additions in 1952 and 1972. After serving as a middle school until 2014, the building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2015 and has been slated for conversion into senior apartments.
