OMB No. 1024-0018 United States Department of the Interior National Park Service NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES CONTINUATION SHEET The Harvard School was the work of Cleveland architect Frank S. Barnum, with a later addition by Charles W. Hopkinson.

The school is located at 6900 Harvard Avenue in a working-class neighborhood close to the east edge of the heavily industrialized Cuyahoga River Valley. The building is centered in an oblong block bounded The Harvard School was built in three sections between 1903 and 1927, reflecting the rapid growth of its surrounding neighborhood in the period between the turn of the 20th century and the start of the Great Depression. Unlike many buildings of the time, the original 1903 portion was built of fireproof masonry construction. It has a red brick bearing wall exterior and framing and a floor system composed of both reinforced concrete and concrete-shielded steel beams. The later additions to the building were built of similar fireproof materials and reflected the evolution of school design philosophy in the early 20th century.

sets of stairs are contained in a tower on the north side of the building, facing Harvard Avenue. Over the main entrance the legend "Harvard" is carved into a stone panel. A similar south tower has been largely concealed by the 1908 and later additions. Though it has some elements of the Jacobethan Revival style, such as an arched entrance opening with an A stone water table divides the raised basement from the first floor and also forms a continuous lintel above the basement windows. First floor windows have plain stone lintels and sills. Second floor windows have plain stone sills, and a stone band above the second floor windows forms a continuous lintel. A plain parapet rises the central hall, each with a narrow cloakroom lighted by one of the narrow windows. Also built of brick, it rises three stories above a raised basement and has a thoroughfare.

This portion of the building is very simple in design, such as door and window surrounds and a stone panel near the southeast corner with the incised south elevations. The walls of the 1927 addition and its gymnasium extension are topped by simple stone copings similar to those on the 1903 and 1908 structures.

A central heating plant helped remove much of the danger from fire, but the 1903 Harvard building was not entirely fireproof. It had a concrete- encased steel structure, but it also had wood stairs. This likely was done due to the building's small size and relative ease of evacuation.

Barnum could not have foreseen it, but elimination of any wood structural members was hastened by the Collinwood School Fire early in 1908. An eastern suburb of Cleveland, Collinwood had an older school called Lakeview Elementary. The wood front stairs were set afire by the heating system, and 172 children and two teachers died when they became jammed in a narrow vestibule doorway at the rear stairs. This disaster brought on laws mandating safer school construction. Barnum, however, was already moving independently in that direction. His 1908 addition to the Harvard School building Barnum stayed with the double-loaded corridor but turned to unilateral lighting, which fit the rectangular well.

It embodies ideas such as fireproof construction, double-loaded corridors, unilateral lighting, and modern heating and ventilating. It has a flat roof, and for egress it has a double-width stair at its east end providing direct access to the street from the raised first floor, with a regular run of stairs to the second floor.

This artificially-lighted central corridor, and extra-width stairs to the street.
