Woonsocket Senior High and Junior High Schools

The Woonsocket Senior High and Junior High Schools is an historic school complex at 357 Park Place in Woonsocket, Rhode Island. Built in 1914 and enlarged several times, it served as the city's high school until 1967, and as the Woonsocket Middle School until its closure in 2009. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2017.
The former Woonsocket Senior High and Junior High Schools building is located in the city's Villa Nova neighborhood, south of the downtown, which is across the Blackstone River. It is a large E-shaped structure, present a long facade to the southeast, with wings extending to the northwest. The oldest portion of the building, its northeastern wing, was built in 1914 in the Classical Revival style, which was then continued in most of the subsequent additions and alterations to the building. An additional block of classrooms was added at the southern end of this wing in 1925, and the junior high school, an L-shaped structure, was added in 1927. At the center of the U shape created by these constructions is the 1952 Senior High School Gymnasium Annex. The most prominent entrance is that of the junior high school, facing southeast. It differs from the other construction in being mainly limestone, with four mammoth Doric pilasters supporting a wide lintel. The bays between the pilasters each house an entrance, above which are decorative panels incised with "Faith", "Hope", and "Charity".
