Dunbar School, Colonial Revival school building in Fairmont, United States
The Dunbar School building features buff-colored brick walls with Flemish Garden Wall bond construction and large windows illuminating the gymnasium section.
Architect William B. Ittner designed this educational facility in 1928, which operated as the sole high school for Black students in Marion County.
The school received its name from Paul Laurence Dunbar, one of the first Black writers to receive national recognition in American literature.
Located at 103 High Street, the structure contains two main stories with an additional exposed basement section on the western side.
The building maintained its educational function until 2007, transitioning from a segregated school to an integrated junior high annex and elementary school.
