Girls' High School
Girls' High School is a historically and architecturally notable public secondary school building located at 475 Nostrand Avenue in the Bedford–Stuyvesant neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York City. It was built in 1886 and is the oldest public high school building in New York City that is still standing.〔''Brooklyn: a soup-to-nuts guide,'' Ellen Freudenheim, Macmillan, 1999, p. 31.〕〔("19th Century," ) NYC Department of Education.〕
==Building==
The building was designed by James W. Naughton, Superintendent of Buildings for the Board of Education of the City of Brooklyn.〔 It is regarded as a "masterpiece" of Victorian Gothic style, blending Gothic Revival and French Second Empire styles, the Second Empire influence is visible in the mansard roof, the Gothic influence in the pointed arch windows.〔〔("Walkabout with Montrose: Master of Schools, JW Naughton," ) September 8, 2009, Brownstoner.〕 The building, which was intended to house the boys' and girls' high schools in two separate wings, features two pavilions built around a central entrance that rises into a bell tower.〔〔"Brooklyn: a state of mind," Michael W. Robbins, Wendy Palitz, Workman Publishing, 2001, p. 228.〕
By the time the school opened, enrollment had increased to the point where it was decided to use this building for the girls and build a separate Boys' High School.〔 In 1975 the school merged with Brooklyn Boys High School and moved to a new building at Fulton Street and Utica Avenue as the Boys and Girls High School.〔"Boys High School And Historic Dock Made Landmarks; Boys High And a Dock Are Cited, Joseph P. Fried,October 5, 1975, New York Times.〕
The building is a designated New York City landmark.〔(New York Architecture Images – James W. Naughton )〕
