Old Killingly High School, high school in Connecticut, United States
Old Killingly High School is a school building in Connecticut erected in 1908 with fireproof walls and modern features for its time. The brick structure with limestone trim displays Renaissance Revival style, including rounded roof elements, peaked limestone gables above doorways, and symmetrical side wings added in 1927.
The school building opened in 1908 to serve Killingly's growing population and expanded with side wings in 1927. It operated as the town high school until 1965, then functioned as a junior high school until 1990 before becoming a police station and community space.
The building sits on Broad Street near Danielson's center, surrounded by homes and small shops that make it easy to locate. Its sturdy brick walls and limestone details make it stand out as a noticeable landmark in the neighborhood.
The building was designed by Boston-based firm Hartwell, Richardson & Driver, a noted architecture group recognized for combining style with function. Its construction with fireproof walls and abundant windows for natural light was considered technologically advanced when it opened.
