Elizabeth Cleveland Intermediate School, Collegiate Gothic school building in Detroit, Michigan.

Elizabeth Cleveland Intermediate School stands on a large corner lot at 13322 Conant Street, set diagonally toward the intersection. The two-story orange brick building has a flat roof and a facade of nineteen bays; the central bay projects forward beneath a high parapet wall. Two bays to either side of the center are entrance pavilions topped with square turrets, and these pavilions hold terrazzo-floor vestibules.

The school opened in 1927, designed by the architectural firm Donaldson and Meier for the Detroit Public School District. Its listing on the National Register reflects its importance as an example of early 20th-century school design.

The building shows how schools were designed in the early 1900s as important places in the neighborhood, with space for learning, sports, and gatherings. Its appearance reflects the belief that schools should be impressive community buildings.

The building stands along a city street and is easy to view from the outside. Since it currently serves as an active school, access to interior areas may be limited depending on school operations.

The school's interior was built for vocational training as well as academics: it held four shops, a drafting room, two clothing rooms and two food centers, alongside an auditorium, gymnasium, pool and locker rooms. The exterior has not been altered since construction.
