Maplewood School, Schule in den Vereinigten Staaten
Maplewood School is a historic school building in Bridgeport, Connecticut, listed on the National Register of Historic Places and constructed of red brick. The two-story structure features Renaissance Revival style elements including rounded windows on the upper floor and an entrance framed by a small arch.
The building was designed in 1893 by local architects Longstaff & Hurd to accommodate the rapid growth of student numbers in the area. It underwent multiple expansions: in 1903 by architect Henry A. Howe Jr. and in 1908 with an annex by Joseph W. Northrop to serve the city's increasing needs.
The building was known as Grammar School No. 5 and served as a focal point for the local community in Bridgeport. Its red brick walls and rounded windows remain visible landmarks that shape how the neighborhood looks today.
The building is visible from the street and shows classic school architecture with brick walls and multiple windows that are easy to identify. Visitors should note that it is not regularly open for tours, but the exterior architecture can be appreciated from the sidewalk.
The building originally had eight classrooms arranged around a central hall, representing a modern school design for its time. Through successive doublings of space and later additions, it grew organically to match the expanding population's needs.
