.
Walnut
Hill
High
School.
" The
school
was the
third
district
public
high
school
established
in the
city
of
Cincinnati
,
following
Hughes
H.S
. and
Woodward
H.S.
, and was
opened
in
September
1895
on the
corner
of
Ashland
and
Burdett
Avenues
in
Cincinnati
. As a
district
high
school
,
it
accommodated
the
conventional
four
years
(grades
9-12)
.
It
began
with
20
teachers
and
684
students
. In
1919
Walnut
Hills
became
a
classical
high
school
(college-preparatory
school)
and was
expanded
to
accommodate
six
years
(grades
7-12)
.
Students
were
drawn
from the
entire
city
,
rather
than from a
defined
district
within
the
city
. As a
classical
high
school
, its
organization
was
modeled
on
eastern
college
preparatory
schools
in
general
, and on
Boston
Latin
School
in
particular
. A
new
building
on
Victory
Boulevard
(now
Victory
Parkway)
was
built
on
14
acres
(57,000
m2)
acquired
from the
Catholic
Archdiocese
of
Cincinnati
and was
occupied
in
1931
.
Designed
by
architect
Frederick
W
.
Garber's
firm
it
remains
in
use
today
. The
facility
was
designed
for
1700
students
and
included
31
class
rooms
,
3
study
halls
,
choral
harmony
and
band
rooms
, a
general
shop
, a
print
shop
, a
mechanical
drawing
room
,
2
swimming
pools
(separate
swimming
for
boys
and
girls)
, a
library
, a
large
and a
small
auditorium
, and a
kitchen
for
teaching
cooking
(with
pantry
and
adjacent
living
room
and
dining
room)[6]
. The
front
of the
building
was
inspired
by
Thomas
Jefferson's
designs
at the
University
of
Virginia
and
modeled
after
University
of
Virginia's
library
building
,
including
the
iconic
,
domed
library
at the
center
of the
structure
.
Examples
of
Cincinnati's
famous
Rookwood
Pottery
are to be
found
throughout
the
building
,
including
the
masks
of
comedy
and
tragedy
adorning
the
proscenium
arch
of the
large
theatrical
auditorium
. The
school's
original
Ashland
and
Burdett
location
became
the
Burdett
School
in
1932
,
which
was
closed
in
1979
.
Abandoned
for
many
years
, the
building
was
renovated
in
2005
as the
Schoolhouse
Lofts
.
