Stanton Special Learning Center (Hereford High School)

-A A +A
1926, Emmett F. Rittenberry. 711 E. Park Ave.

The architectural attributes that construct civic presence at the county courthouse (PH19) produce a similar result at Hereford High School, a symmetrical, three-story, red brick building with a three-story cast-stone frontispiece that impresses the otherwise modern (by 1926 standards) school building with a Tudor architectural character. On Union Street just north of the old high school is its successor school (1954, Cantrell Company; 200 Avenue F), an expansive, asymmetrical complex of continuous horizontal window bands and of differently shaped wings that express specialized interior uses.
