Public School No. 13, Historic school building in Park Hill, Yonkers, United States.
Public School No. 13 is a three-and-a-half-story school building in Yonkers featuring large dormers and a pyramidal roof covered in patterned slate tiles on McLean Avenue. The structure is built from stone, brick, and clay tiles arranged to create a distinctive architectural presence.
The building was designed in 1900 by architect Charles C. Chipman following Neoclassical style and expanded between 1905 and 1910 by builder P. J. Flannery. These periods of construction reflect the growing educational demands of the community during the early 1900s.
The National Register of Historic Places recognized this educational institution on April 18, 2007 for its architectural and historical value.
The building now houses residential apartments and can be viewed from outside, with original facade elements clearly visible from the street. The location on McLean Avenue makes it easy to approach and observe the architectural details.
The structure uses a combination of steel and wood frame construction paired with interlocking roof tiles, reflecting early industrial building techniques. This blend of materials and methods demonstrates construction approaches that were pioneering for the early 1900s.
