Old West Haven High School
Old West Haven High School, Educational landmark in West Haven, United States.
The two-story H-shaped building features load-bearing masonry walls of brick and terra cotta, with projecting sections at both ends and center.
Built in 1926 during a period of rapid population growth in West Haven, the school served the educational needs until its closure in 1983.
The building represents an educational institution that evolved from a high school to a junior high school, reflecting the changing needs of the community.
Located two blocks east of West Haven town green on Main Street, the former school building now functions as a residential complex.
The center pavilion entrance displays Egyptian Revival capitals and a pedimented gable, combining multiple architectural elements in its design.
