Niagara Falls High School (ca 1913)


This photo was found on a used postcard, mailed to E.G. Fluhart in Fredericksburg, Ohio, and postmarked on July 3, 1913. I believe this building was constructed in 1903. It was destroyed by fire during the process of building an addition to it in 1921-1922. A new school was built on the same site, at Pine Avenue and Portage Road, and was completed in September 1924. That building served as the high school until 2000, when classes were relocated to the new state-of-the-art N.F.H.S. building, built in 1999 on Porter Road. The building at Pine and Portage has housed the Niagara Arts and Cultural Center since 2002.
