CORINTH MIDDLE SCHOOL (CORINTH HIGH SCHOOL)

-A A +A
1938, Stevens and Johnston. 1000 E. 5 th St.

Thomas H. Johnston Jr. grew up in Corinth, graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 1931, and then returned home. In 1936 he set up an office in Starkville with former West Point practitioner Harry W. Stevens. This Streamline Moderne high school in red and brown brick is one of the firm’s finest works. In its carefully proportioned wings, repetitive windows are collected in horizontal bands. Streamlined features include curving corners of glass block and bull-nosed brick entrance pylons above which the original “Corinth High School” signage remains.
