David Wilmot School
David Wilmot School, Renaissance Revival school building in Frankford, Philadelphia, United States.
The David Wilmot School features stone construction with brownstone sills and arches, complemented by a prominent gable above the entrance opening.
Built in 1874 by William Keas and designed by architect Lewis H. Esler, the school was named after United States political figure David Wilmot.
The institution initially served as a school for colored children, reflecting the educational developments and social dynamics of nineteenth-century Philadelphia.
Located at 1734 Meadow Street in Philadelphia, the two-story educational building encompasses an area of 2 acres with four distinct bays.
The 1908 expansion of the school incorporated architectural elements that enhanced the original Italianate design while maintaining its Renaissance Revival character.
