c. 1915 [IHS Description: This photo shows the exterior of Riley High School in Greenfield, IN. On March 20, 1895, $30,000 was approved for the construction of this high school on the northeast corner of North and Pennsylvania Streets. It was a three story, Romanesque Revival stone structure with a triple-arched entryway. It had a total of 11 classrooms on the first and second floors and an additional six classrooms in the basement. It served as the citys high school until 1926 when another high school was constructed. At that time it became Riley Elementary School, and in 1908 it doubled as the citys public library. It was used as an elementary school until 1981 and was placed on the National Registry of Historic Landmarks in 1980. On April 30, 1985, the building was lost to a fire. The only parts of the structure that were salvaged were the triple archways. A new structure was built around those arches, and it is now the main office for the Greenfield-Central Community School Corporation.] No |
