Hopewell High School Complex, also known as James E. Mallonee Middle School, is a historic high school complex located at Hopewell, Virginia. The original section was built in 1925, and is a two-story, seven-bay brick building resting on a full basement with Tudor Revival style details. Attached to the main building is a two-story shop addition built in 1935. The school was used as a high school until 1968, when the new Hopewell High School was constructed and it became a middle school. Adjacent to the school is the William L. Merner Athletic Field; developed in the 1930s as a Works Progress Administration project. In addition to the field, the clubhouse, concession stand, and press box are contributing resources. Also associated with the school is the 1 1/2-story, Colonial Revival style Home Economics Cottage dated to the 1930s (offices for the Hopewell School Board); the two-story, Colonial Revival-style Gymnasium built in 1949 (now Boys and Girls Club of Hopewell); and two-story, International style Science and Library Building built in 1959 (now offices for the Hopewell School Board).[3]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009.[1]
