Built in 1923-24 on the original site of Southwestern
University, this structure served as Georgetown High School for
over fifty years. Designed by Austin architect Charles H. Page
and exhibiting influences of the Spanish Colonial Revival style
of architecture, the building features a Baroque entryway with
cast stone detailing that includes motifs of shells, flowers,
urns, and garlands. A gymnasium was added to the back of the
building in the 1940s. Recorded Texas Historic Landmark - 1988
