The school building stands at 2501 Second Avenue, featuring Collegiate Gothic architecture with brick and limestone exteriors spanning multiple floors.

Founded in 1907 on the third floor of Cass Union School, the institution moved to its current location in 1922 following wartime construction delays.

The school maintains specialized programs in music, including a harp program dating from 1925 and a marching band that performed at presidential inaugurations.
