Summary

Description
English: East High School, 820 Northampton Street, Buffalo, New York, November 2021. Designed by the partnership of Franklyn J. and William A. Kidd, the Neoclassical style of this sprawling three-story brick edifice is at once a remarkably intact example of early 20th-century urban school architecture and unique by way of the Spanish Colonial Revival influences in its ornamentation (the sprawling massing, interior courtyards, and especially the arched corbelling at the roofline all attest to this). The school opened in 1927 and served a student body composed of East Side residents who were initially largely German and Polish in ethnicity, but was majority-Black by the middle of the 20th century. The building's exceptional architecture was the rationale behind its nomination as a City of Buffalo landmark in 2018, and it's also been declared eligible for the National Register of Historic Places.
