| 説明 | Built in 1949 and expanded with a northwestern addition circa 1967-1968, this Modern International-style building was constructed to serve as a Junior High School for the city of Cairo, Illinois, and replaced an earlier school building on the same site, which had served as the city’s high school until being repurposed as a junior high school upon the construction of a larger high school building to the northwest in 1927. The building was constructed adjacent to the old Cairo High School, which once stood to the northwest, at the end of the 1960s addition, which contains Mescher Gymnasium, which, when constructed, was connected to and jointly utilized by both schools, and saw a small addition at the northwestern end of the structure when the high school was demolished in the early 1980s. The building is characterized by its buff brick exterior, curved facades on either side of the central bay and front entrance, decorative patterned brickwork, stone trim and carved sculptural reliefs, metal-frame ribbon windows, and simple, buff brick additions. The building is a noncontributing structure in the Cairo Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. Today, the building serves as the Cairo Community Education Center, as well as the Cairo Board of Education Offices. |
