Notes
  • Written data includes sketches & photocopies of maps & photographs.
  • Significance: The significance of the George Washington School is two-fold. First, the building was erected during a period of financial crisis, 1930-31, in which many school budgets were hard hit thereby representing a recovery from the crisis. Its Art Deco/Moderne style is reflective of the then current trend in public buildings of that era. The building opened in 1932 as the George Washington Junior High School. Later, the structure was used as an elementary school before being sold to private developers in the 1970s.

Second, the building was a part of the most significant growth and development period of Monaca, c. 1895-1935, in which the area east of Ninth Street along Pennsylvania Avenue became the downtown business district. The building is a prominent feature in the heart of the downtown area and is a good example of the Art Deco/Moderne style of architecture.
