Mount Healthy Public School, Schulgebäude in den Vereinigten Staaten
Mount Healthy Public School is a three-story brick building in Mount Healthy, Ohio, built in the early 1900s in the Second Renaissance Revival style. The structure features a classical facade with columns, an arched entrance, and large divided-pane windows, while its interior preserves the original layout with a central hallway and classrooms arranged on either side.
The school building opened in 1911 and was designed by Cincinnati architect John Francis Sheblessy as a central facility to serve all grade levels from elementary to high school. The district closed it as a regular school in the early 1980s, and it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.
The school served as a social hub for the community for decades, with its large auditorium hosting school plays, sports events, and town gatherings. For many residents in Mount Healthy, the building remains connected to personal memories of celebrations and performances that brought the neighborhood together.
The building sits on a hill at the corner of Compton Road and Harrison Avenue in Mount Healthy, about 10 miles north of Cincinnati and easily visible from the street. The property includes a two-level parking lot and is surrounded by mature trees and open grounds, making it accessible for viewing the historic structure and its setting.
Inside the building on the first floor stands a noteworthy fountain with blue and white tile bearing the name Grace Hunt, a former school principal. This small detail preserves the memory of an important figure in the school's history and reveals the personal connections between the institution and its community.
