Eaton High School, high school in Eaton, Preble County, Ohio
Eaton High School is a school building in Eaton, Ohio, constructed in 1927 in the Classical Revival style. The brick structure with stone trim has an H-shaped footprint that creates a central courtyard, and preserves original interior features including terrazzo floors, woodwork, and glazed brick wainscoting.
The school was built in 1927 and served as a community center until 2012. Architect William B. Ittner designed the building using modern educational principles with natural light and good ventilation, influencing school design standards of his era.
The school carries the name of the town of Eaton and is deeply tied to the community's identity. Local residents connect the building with personal memories of friendships, school events, and the ongoing life of their community.
The building sits on a main street and is easy to reach on foot. Access to the former school is through the east-facing main entrance, marked by two large stone lampposts, which helps with orientation when approaching the site.
The building was converted to apartments named Residences at Eagles Point in 2017. This transformation preserved the historic brick structure while giving the building new life, allowing residents to live within a piece of local history.
