1034-0078 United States Department of the Interior National Register of Historic Places Section number 7 page_1 of 20 Canal Winchester School Franklin County, Ohio Canal Winchester School consists of an original two-story, four-room building constructed in 1862, a second 2 ½ story, eight-room building constructed on an adjacent parcel in 1909 and a major three-story, addition including an auditorium and gymnasium connecting the two, built in 1929. As the student population grew, new educational practices were mandated and needs changed. As a result, several additions were made to the school from 1875 through 1999, resulting in an irregular plan. (Attachments A-E) The school exterior is brick and it has sections varying from one to three stories in height. It is located in a residential area five blocks southwest of the locally-designated historic commercial district and town center.

(Photos 1, la/Attachment F) The school is bounded by Washington Street on the east, Columbus Street to the north, Clinton and Franklin Streets to the west, and a small parking lot to the south with residences beyond. Washington Street Facade The original 1862 school building and its 1875 addition are visible at the south end of what now comprises the entire school. (Photos 2-6) This portion of the building is of common bond brick bearing wall construction. It features an asymmetrical fenestration and a projecting pedimented entry bay separating the 1875 addition (farthest south) and the 1862 building. This entry off Washington Street and reorientation to the east was added with the 1875 addition. Originally, the school's main entry was centered on the north elevation and faced Franklin Street.

(Photo 41) The first floor of this 1862/1875 building is original common bond brick with a wood and stucco facing around the windows on the second floor suggesting half timbering. To the south of the entry, in the 1875 section, are four windows on the first floor and two sets of paired windows on the second floor. To the north, in the 1862 section, are four windows on both the first and second floors. The 1862/1875 school building was greatly altered, both when the 1929 addition was added to the north and again with a 1948 remodeling. Window openings were bricked in on the north elevation, the steeple was removed, and the half timbering was added to blend the older façade with the 1929 Tudor Revival addition. section of the building is recessed within a brick arched opening. Centered above the opening is a round arched window with a decorative metal balcony.

(Photo 10) The entry bay is contrasting limestone and brick and has a vertical niche and stone coping imitated in the twentieth century remodeling of the 1862/1875 building. When constructed, the third floor of the 1929 addition had Tudor Revival half timbering, which was altered in 1982 when replacement windows were installed. (Attachment M) Originally constructed as a separate structure, this was known as the North Building. The east façade is asymmetrical and was a secondary elevation when originally constructed.

A parapet wall visually separates the building from the 1929 addition to the south. There are five windows at the second and first floor levels and two windows in the foundation of the raised basement. Original decorative wood gable end has some ornamentation in the form of contrasting limestone and brickwork, including limestone foundation, corner quoins, sills, and a stringcourse. The doorway with windows above forms north are three windows at the first and second floors and two windows in the raised basement. An arched window opening with limestone sill and keystone is centered in the pediment at the attic level. It has been boarded over. Limestone coping with decorative squares outlines the parapet wall. In a 1982 remodeling of the school, the windows were replaced in the three 1862, 1909, and 1929 main sections.

Original opening sizes and interior trim and sills were maintained Columbus Street Elevation The north elevation of the 1909 building was the primary facade. (Photos 13, 14, 16) This façade is symmetrical and more decorative, further emphasizing that it was the primary entrance. A projecting central entry bay is flanked by a bank of five windows on the first and second floors, along with two evenly spaced windows in the raised basement. The doorway is contained within a segmental arched opening that is framed by a limestone surround with keystone. Above the doorway is a decorative tablet reading "Canal Winchester Public School MCMVIII." (Photo 15) When replacement doors were installed, the arch was infilled with brick. Centered above are three windows at the second floor level. A tower projects above the roof at the attic level, which further defines the entry bay.

A single window, now boarded over, is centered in the tower with a stringcourse directly above. The stringcourse wraps around the tower and forms a sill for arched windows on each side of the tower. These openings have keystones and stone coping. The tower is further highlighted by corner quoins. An attic dormer is present on each side of the tower. They are also arched and have stone hoodmolds with small keystones. The windows at this level have been infilled.

(Photos 17, 17a., 17b.) It is brick with a base of concrete block mimicking the raised foundation of the Rear Elevation The rear (west) elevation is complex and irregular, as it contains the various additions constructed since 1929.

From Clinton Street can be seen the west elevation of the 1909 building, the back of the 1929 auditorium, and the north side of the 1956 elementary wing. The west elevation of the 1909 building is a mirror image of the east or Washington Street elevation, with the exception that the west elevation still retains its attic dormer. (Photo 16) An entry is present in the small 1999 addition. The west wall of the auditorium is plain. One large chimney and a smaller one rise above the back of the auditorium. (Photo 18) Also visible from Clinton Street is the main entrance to the 1956 elementary wing on its north side. entry and extending east toward the main block of the school, the wall is punctuated by banks of windows. (Photos 19b., 19c.) Extending perpendicular to the main building and further south from Clinton Street are two parallel elementary school wings added in 1956 and 1967.

Both have two levels of classrooms. The addition to the north was constructed in 1956. It is a gable-roofed rectangular extension protruding out from the core of the school. (Photos 20-21) The west elevation contains an entry with double doors and simple hood overhead. The entry bay is framed by piers the height of the elevation. Centered in the piers above the door is a large window opening with fourteen lights. Above the window is decorative brick. The south elevation of this addition is divided into three banks of windows. The windows on the north side only in this wing were replaced in 1982. The south side windows are original. The 1967 addition is just to the south and parallel to the 1956 addition. It is of similar size, has a gable roof of similar pitch, and also protrudes from the core of the school building.

The west elevation of this addition also contains an entry similar to the 1956 addition, although plainer. It has a centered door with The south elevation is irregular and contains the side elevation of the 1967 addition, the 1922 one-story addition, and the 1875 two-story addition. This elevation of the 1967 addition has two entrances above grade and one below grade leading into the basement. It also contains a large horizontal opening with thirty-six windows. Two small square windows are between the doors. This southeast portion of the school is flat roofed.

The area within the L is paved parking. (Photos 24, 25,25a.,26) With the exception of the office entry, the doors in this section are generally utilitarian. Office doors are paired, surrounded by windows and reached by a small flight of stairs. The 1875 portion of this elevation rises a full story above the rest.

It has three windows and a door on the first floor and a door with fire escape stairs and one window on the second floor. Interior trim suggests these openings are original to the 1875 construction. (Photo 43) The Canal Winchester School sits prominently on a corner parcel surrounded by residences in the southwest corner of the historic village limits. This area of the village was platted by 1839. Segments of the original iron fence, including a stone corner post, line the sidewalk in front of the 1862/1875 Numerous mature trees are on the front lawn and around the building. A parking lot entered from Washington Street is to the south side of the 1862/1875 building and in front of the 1967 wing.

(Photos 30-32, 34) To the southwest are the athletic playing fields and the "new" high school, constructed in 1975-6 and expanded in the 1990s. The interior of the Canal Winchester School is amazingly intact considering the length of time it has served the community and the number of additions it has had put on. The earliest section was built with (Photos 35, 37-40) Furthermore, the two-classroom addition of 1875 (one over one) does the same. In addition to the room configuration, historic details that remain include wood door and window trim and sills.

(Photos 45-51) Of the 12 original classrooms in the 1929 building, all continue to function as classroom or library space with the exception of two rooms north of the front entry. These were converted to administrative offices. The architectural character of the former administrative office on the second floor of this building has been retained, including the safe, and the space is used by the staff currently.

Classroom details include blond wood entries with a tier of 5 windows and shelves on the side and built-in blonde wood storage cabinets. (Photos 73-74, 75-78) With the 1967 addition, the cafeteria/gymnasium and kitchen was enlarged and a library was added. (Photos 85-86, 79-84) The wall finishes are painted concrete Throughout the school, ceiling panels have been installed, lowering the ceiling height; however, original ceilings are intact above. Likewise, window and door trim and early wood partitions have been maintained at original heights behind these lowered ceilings.

The majority of windows were replaced in 1982 in all sections of the building except in the 1967 addition and the south side of the 1956 addition. In spite of this alteration, the large historic openings have been maintained and the interior woodwork surrounding the window openings is intact. The Canal Winchester School has been in continuous operation since 1862. As such, it has been necessary to increase its size as student population increased and to modernize it as school legislation and theories changed. Although alterations have been made, particularly to the 1862 building, the building is still discernible as a historic school. The 1909 and 1929 sections are recognizable as from their respective time periods. The present school building maintains sufficient historic integrity, conveying its significance in the role of education in Canal Winchester over a 143-year period.

It is also significant as the oldest continuously operating public school in Ohio, having served Canal Winchester for 143 years. The Ohio School Board Association designated this award in 1987 following a statewide survey.

(The Times, October 7,1987) Architecturally, it exemplifies how legislative and philosophical changes that took place throughout the history of education in Ohio were implemented in a village setting from the mid-nineteenth century Canal Winchester History Platted in 1828 by local landowners, Canal Winchester was founded in anticipation of the Ohio & Erie Canal passing through the area. Initially the village was known only as Winchester and was within Fairfield County. Canal was added to the name in 1841, as there were other Winchesters in Ohio. A decade later the village and sections from the surrounding township were annexed to Franklin County. Canal Winchester was located in an agriculturally rich area that produced a surplus of crops with little opportunity to export them.

Canal completion in the area in 1832 improved transportation for the regional farmers and opened up distant markets for their products. Following this transportation development Canal Winchester quickly became an agricultural center in the township and surrounding area. As business opportunities increased due to the canal, the settlement's population increased and by 1866 it was large enough to be incorporated. Incorporation brought civic improvements such as better streets, sidewalks, and sewers. Additional roads were constructed in the area, improving its accessibility and making it a more desirable community. A second wave of growth occurred when the railroad passed through the village, with the first train there was commercial growth and intensive new construction of commercial and residential historic maps from the nineteenth century.

An 1880 map of Franklin County shows Canal Winchester as being several times larger than neighboring Groveport. (Attachment G) Throughout the latter nineteenth century, although it was located closer to the center of the township and on the Ohio & Erie Canal, Groveport became known primarily as a residential community. Canal Winchester's commercial base, particularly as a center of grain production, surpassed Groveport's. at a steady pace through the early 1900s. First the interurban in 1904 and then private automobiles made the village more accessible from neighboring communities. It was a commercial center for the township Significance of Property through the mid-twentieth century.

depot, Canal Winchester continued to develop as an agricultural commercial center."As the Canal Winchester's prominence in the township can be seen on surrounding agricultural lands prospered, so did Canal Winchester. The agricultural facilities expanded, Although it was not explosive growth, the population and size of Canal Winchester continued to expand (8-86) arriving in 1869. Transporting crops by train was quicker and more efficient than the canal.

Canal Winchester's role as a bedroom community continued into the twentieth century, especially after WWII. School buildings were established in Ohio's townships in response to 1829 state legislation that several rural schools, the first school in Canal Winchester was built of frame construction in 1834 on North High Street. A brick schoolhouse was constructed in 1848 near the same site and another was built on East Columbus Street in 1849." (Kane, MPD, E1, p. 4) The township system for schools was reorganized in 1853, which provided for a township Board of Education and sub-districts. Canal Winchester was then in a new township, having recently been annexed to Franklin County. "Canal Winchester area schools were in the 18th sub-district of the new township system.

In response to the growth in the community and overcrowding in the area schools, this sub-district sold their other buildings and built a four-room brick schoolhouse which was first occupied in 1862." (Kane, MPD, E1, p. 5) William P. Miller and John Miller were the builders. This new school had two rooms each on the first and second floors. The primary façade faced north onto Franklin Street. This 1862 school is the oldest part of the facility that is the subject of this nomination. In April 1868, Canal Winchester applied to become a special school district, which created a local board of education and removed the village school from the township system. In 1875, a two-room addition was added onto the south side of the school and its orientation was changed to face east onto Washington Street. Builders involved were Wolfe & Zackero, O. L. Dibble, and Charles F. Yost.

This remained the only village school until the early twentieth century. Once again overcrowding became an issue for the school, and a bond issue of $25,000 was passed in 1908 to construct a new building that would house the high school students. Designed by Howard, Inscho & Merriam of Columbus, the new school, known also as the North Building, faced onto West Street (now Columbus Street). The partnership of Howard, Inscho & Merriam only lasted from 1907-09. Inscho moved on to form his own architectural firm and Howard & Merriam continued in partnership until 1920. The contractor for the 1909 building was C. R. Chappelear. The 1862/1875, or South (Attachment C) In 1923, the portion of Franklin Street between the schools was closed. One room in the new high school served as one of Franklin County's three Normal Schools from 1914- 1922.

In 1922 the normal department was moved to a remodeled room in the south building. The Canal (8-86) Education in Canal Winchester National Register of Historic Places and it was strategically located half way between two county seats, Columbus and Lancaster.The new Building, and the new high school were on separate parcels with Franklin Street running between them.

New programs were introduced to the school curricula in 1918 and 1919.

Vocational Agriculture classes were accommodated on the first floor of the South Building and a Vocational Home Economics Department was housed on the second floor. An addition containing an agriculture shop and lab and three classrooms was added to the southwest corner of the 1862/1875 school in 1922. (Attachment C) As had happened before, growth in the village forced the need for a bigger school. The push for a bond issue to build an addition that would connect the two school buildings began in earnest in 1928. A full- endorsement of the bond dedicating an issue of their student paper to the cause. The appeals were successful and the $150,000 bond issue was passed by the voters. The architectural firm of Richards, McCarty & Bulford of Columbus was selected to design the new addition. In February of 1929 a request for bids was published in the paper.

The new addition was addition was to house grades 7-12, while the old north building would house grades 1-6. The new addition was dedicated December 16, 1929 and contained state of the art facilities including a library, ten classrooms, two labs, a study hall, a lunchroom, a home economics department, an 800 seat auditorium and a gymnasium. Built for use by the school and the community, this auditorium remains the only auditorium in the school system and the village to date. Having the Columbus firm of Richards, McCarty & Bulford (1899-1943) design the new school gave the long-lived and was responsible for some of the city's most significant structures." (Samuelson, p. 185) Examples of the firm's prominent buildings in Columbus include the Athletic Club, the Art Museum, the U.S. Post Office and Federal Courthouse, Lazarus Department Store, commercial buildings, banks, and schools.

They designed in a variety of styles such as Neo-Classical Revival, Second Renaissance Revival, and Modernistic.

Although education was valued and its importance addressed in Ohio's 1802 Constitution, there was no governmental system providing schools. In 1825, the first legislation was passed that provided were typically insufficient and communities often relied on themselves to procure land or supply labor to construct schools. The 1825 legislation also placed the responsibility for schools at the township level. educational inconsistencies throughout a city.

In order to correct this situation the city of Akron petitioned the Ohio legislature to organize an independent school district. The city would use its own taxes to provide free schools. The state accepted the proposal and in 1849 created legislation for other towns to do the same, if they chose to do so. Most cities followed Akron's lead and a division in educational opportunities between urban and rural schools developed. Larger villages of more than 500 inhabitants could also apply for special district status making them independent of township control over their schools. Canal Winchester applied for this status in 1868. township schools was removed from the township government and placed with a township school board that could more efficiently organize township schools, therefore providing more consistent oversight. Township school boards would now own the school property.

They also were mandated to offer six law further required that all basic education be free, which eliminated the fees that students had to pay in some districts where the public money was not sufficient. As the century progressed the acceptance of high school as part of a child's basic education increased. Due to an increasingly complex industrial workplace, high schools became important for advanced knowledge and skills. As high schools were more commonly seen as necessity rather than luxury, there was pressure on the government for them to be free as primary schools already were. Ohio's General Assembly responded to the public pressure in 1853, allowing for tax monies to be used for high school education. auditorium.

"Union schools consisted of two, three, four, or five graded classes - normally referred to as primary, secondary, intermediate, grammar, and high schools. Usually only the largest cities had a sufficient number of students within a convenient walking distance of the school building to enable them to offer all five New legislation regarding schools continued to be made, but the biggest changes since 1853 took place in 1914. The Rural School Codes Act made schools the responsibility of the county rather than the township. This streamlined and centralized control over school operations. Schools now fell under the management of a county school board with a superintendent, except for city districts and villages over education, was a concern for the training of teachers. Certification of teachers in Ohio was first established by state law in 1825, when each county was appointed examiners.

Despite this early attempt at teacher certification, there were no standards to follow. Certification exams and certificate lifespans were at the discretion of individual local examiners. Some counties started teachers' institutes, with the dedicated to the training of teachers, normal schools, were established around the state beginning with Farmington Normal School, founded in 1849. Private normal schools were quite successful training Ohio's teachers for over fifty years. State funding of a normal school did not occur until 1902. Miami University and Ohio University were the first state supported normal schools. "The proliferation of normal schools provided a vehicle for teacher training in Ohio, but there were still no consistent standards in the state for curriculum or certification, especially in the rural schools.

Conditions and examination subjects varied greatly, creating a complex situation that was not remedied until the 1914 Rural School Codes Act strengthened the power of the state. This new legislation allowed for state-sponsored normal training to be conducted at the county level in qualified "first grade" high schools. Tuition was to be free at the high school normal departments. The normal schools would fall under the jurisdiction of the county school board, but would be financed and regulated by the state. To establish a normal department, the individual school had to apply with the State Department of Public Instruction. For the first time in Ohio's history, the examination and certification process for teachers School Codes Act laid the groundwork for up to three county normal schools per county, many educationally progressive small communities jumped at the opportunity.

(McCormick, p. 50) NPS Form 10-800-4 OMB Approval No. 1034-0078 United States Department of the Interior Continuation Sheet was a winning proposition for a community. The state would fund and regulate the normal school, while Canal Winchester, hosting a normal department in the high school was an ideal situation. Having a county "normal" brought academic prestige and bright young scholars to the community without bearing much responsibility for it.

Communities had to act fast to secure a county normal school, and Canal Winchester did so with a normal department up and running by September 1914. When the 1914 act was passed, Canal Winchester's high school was only five years old. It was state of the art construction for its time and it also had a curriculum in place that met the state's requirements for a first grade high school. Only high schools with a first grade rating would be eligible for housing the one-year normal program. More A community's enthusiasm was as critical to receiving a county normal as the quality of its educational facilities. C.V. Moore, a Canal Winchester resident, was president of the Franklin County Board of Education at the time this bill passed. He was instrumental in Canal Winchester being granted one of the three teaching centers in the county. The principle of Canal Winchester High School, Bland L.

Stradley, during the 1913-14 school year also likely had a strong hand in the effort to establish the normal school. Dr. Stradley left Canal Winchester High School after one year to attend Harvard University, but returned in 1919. He lived with his wife in Canal Winchester until his death in 1957. He was a prominent Dean and then Vice President at the Ohio State University throughout his career. He remained active in the both the school and civic affairs of Canal Winchester, serving on the local school board for 26 years. Canal Winchester School is an important depiction of the pattern in Ohio's educational history to provide high quality teacher training in rural areas during the early 1900s.

By responding quickly after passage of the 1914 law, the citizens of Canal Winchester embodied the educational spirit that the Ohio Department of Public Instruction described in its Normal School Bulletin of August 1914, "The Department is exceedingly anxious to prove to the people of the state the wisdom of this plan of training teachers for rural and village schools, and in order to do so, the schools established must succeed, and in order to succeed they must have the hearty support of the communities in which located and must meet willingly the standards set up for them.

The educational sentiment of the community is perhaps the most vital element in the success of a County Normal School." (Williams, Section 8, p.5) Canal Winchester's normal school had an enrollment of 27 students its first year, the largest of any normal The 1922 Sanborn Map indicates that the Normal Department had been relocated to the south building. This likely occurred when the one-story addition housing the manual and agricultural training rooms was added in 1922. The number of normal schools in Ohio peaked in the 1920s. The move towards teaching as a profession also moved the training of teachers to accredited colleges and universities.

The Impact of Legislation Canal Winchester School exemplifies the various legislative and architectural trends in Ohio's public education system.

Canal Winchester was first in Violet Township, Fairfield County, and after annexation in 1851, it was in Madison Township, Franklin County. Because it was a thriving agricultural commercial center, the village early in its development had need of its own school. Although part of the township system, Canal Winchester constructed a series of small schools from 1834 through to the 1862 school. Due to the Civil War, school construction generally slowed during the early 1860s. However, Canal Winchester was able to provide for the financial and physical resources to construct the new two-story school that it badly needed. The 1862 school was built in the fashion of other early union schools of the late 1850s and 1860s. In her book Educational Architecture in Ohio, Virginia McCormick identifies a typical building type for the early union schools.

These schools were constructed of brick, two stories in height, and one room deep. They were similar in construction to I houses built throughout Ohio. There were two rooms on the first floor for the primary and secondary grades and two on the second floor for the higher grammar and high school levels. The 1862 Canal Winchester School perfectly fits this model Although the 1862 school was built and operated as a union school, it was six years before the school was officially recognized as a union school, removing it from the township system. "The town constituted the 18'h school district of Madison Township, until April 1868, when a school was organized under the Union School Law." (History of Franklin & Pickaway Counties, Ohio, p.

451) Canal Winchester's application to become a special district exemplified the desire of a larger village to be autonomous from township control over education and reflected its maturing commercial status in the The 1875 two-story addition of two classrooms and two vestibules gave the school an L-plan with two prominent elevations. It is believed that the two gabled projecting entries on the north and east elevations and the frame tower were added at this time. These architectural features transformed the 1862 building from its simple rectangular "union school" form into a building that was more consistent with late nineteenth century school buildings with Italianate stylistic influences. (Attachments J & K) By 1909 Canal Winchester was large enough to support two separate school buildings with the high area. of a typical union school.

This followed the model of larger urban areas, which by this time most often had a separate building dedicated solely for high school students. The 1862 building continued to serve the younger grades. Additions were made to the 1862 (south building) school in 1922 to accommodate space for new 1909, school boards were authorized by the state to offer agricultural, vocational, commercial or domestic science classes. The Smith-Hughes Act of 1917 provided federal funding for these types of courses.

Vocational, agricultural, and home economics courses were taught in the south building, again bringing the high school students to study in the same building as the younger children. This continued Canal Winchester's tradition of a union school. again further cemented the concept of a union school in the community. This new addition also provided a gymnasium and associated facilities making it easier for the school to comply with the 1923 As the century progressed school needs changed, but the community remained dedicated to the school in its 1929 configuration and continued to adapt it as needed. Until 1975 it served all the village school children. In 1975, a new high school was constructed and for a second time in Canal Winchester's history, the older students had their own building.

Canal Winchester School still functions as a union school serving the intermediate and middle school grades. Although the building has been modernized throughout the century, it continues to serve under the historic concept of union schools. Of the three village schools that pre-dated the 1862 building, only the 1848 brick one is extant. It was sold and subsequently remodeled into a residence in 1862, when the village consolidated the smaller schools. This building is listed in the National Register as part of the North High Street Historic District. Of the three township schools in Canal Winchester's vicinity, only the Prentiss School survives. It was moved from Gender Road north of the village into Canal Winchester beside the depot in 1975. It is maintained by the Canal Winchester Area Historical Society.

Two historic districts were listed in the National Register in 1988-Columbus Street Historic District and West Mound Street Historic District. A National Register Multiple Property Documentation (MPD) form for Canal Winchester was listed in 1989. Twenty-two individual properties and one historic district identified with themes of transportation (canal, railroad, interurban/automobile) were listed.
