The east side of the building (the Central High School side) faces the Scioto River and downtown Columbus.
I have a love of all architecture but especially art deco and mid-century modern.

Central High School / COSI
West Broad Street, Columbus, Ohio - Central High School opened in 1924 and was designed by architect William B. Ittner. The school closed in 1982. The Center of Science and Industry (COSI) moved into the building in 1999 after the addition of a modern structure by architect Arata Isozaki.

Beautiful! I know very little about Columbus, and may never have seen pictures before.
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine going to high school in a big old building like this compared to the sprawling one story structure we inhabited.
ReplyDeleteIt seems so austere.
