Old Belvidere High School (Belvidere, Illinois)

The old Belvidere High School is a complex of four connected buildings that reflect three different architectural styles: Classical Revival, Prairie School, and Art Deco. It is composed of the 1893 Garfield School, a 1900 powerhouse, the 1916 Belvidere High School, and the 1939 Belvidere High School Auditorium & Gymnasium.
==History==
The first public schooling in Belvidere, Illinois began in 1842. Classes were typically taught in churches or private residences. The first public school building built in the town was a stone building built in the 1850s. In 1893, the Garfield School was built just south of Washington High School for both grade and high school students. The two-story building originally had thirteen rooms. As Belvidere's population continued to grow, school officials struggled to prevent classrooms from overcrowding. In 1914, they determined that a new high school should replace the demolished Washington High School. In 1916, the new building, designed by Prairie School architect Grant C. Miller of Miller, Gullenwider & Dowling, was completed. The two buildings were together known as Belvidere High School. By 1938, the high school population of Belvidere High School grew to 500. The school district successfully applied for grants from the Public Works Administration, receiving over $62,000. Rockford architect Raymond A. Orput of Orput & Orput designed the resulting auditorium and gymnasium addition. The addition was one of the first buildings to use fluorescent lighting. US Representative Noah Mason dedicated the building. A new Washington School was built in 1956 for the junior high student population, and ten years later, the present Belvidere High School was completed. On July 25, 1997, the building complex was recognized by the National Park Service with a listing on the National Register of Historic Places. It received this distinction as a locally significant example of the Classical Revival, Prairie School, and Art Deco styles. The different buildings reflected the changing opinions of school architectural styles.〔http://gis.hpa.state.il.us/pdfs/201087.pdf〕
