Occupying a triangular site, this bracketed Italianate structure is one of several schools and markets in this style by Cutshaw, who designed a number of buildings in his position as city engineer. A cupola that once graced the roof housed a warning bell for the police and fire stations that shared the building. It now houses firefighting equipment on exhibit.
