1024-0018 McCormick School Erie County, Ohio Name of Property County and State Statement of Significance Summary Paragraph McCormick School is an excellent example of a structure built in the Art Moderne style and meets the criteria for style include smooth, streamlined walls, usually of stucco, flat roofs, horizontal grooves or lines in the walls, curved corners, an asymmetrical façade, and wide use of glass block windows (McCormick 2001; McAlester 2004). McCormick School was built in a streamlined form and incorporates features typical of Art Moderne structures, such as a flat roof, curved corners, and horizontal grooves. Glass block windows were used in the curved sections and in the stairwells, and due to World War II, steel was unavailable. Reinforced concrete barrel shells were used instead.

Hence, this structure became the first architectural concrete school in Ohio (McCormick 1944), and likely one of the only schools in Ohio built in the Art Moderne style (McCormick 2001). The only attributes of the structure that have been altered are the windows and doors. Also, a rooftop greenhouse was removed.McCormick School retains all of the characteristics distinctive of an Art Moderne structure. Narrative Statement of Significance school constructed in the Art Moderne style in Ohio. Though quite common in the late 1930s, the Art Moderne style was Art Moderne style or elements in architectural detail. Further, cCormick School was constructed during World War II not completed until the spring of 1943. Settlement of Huron, Ohio, began around 1809. Settlers were attracted to Huron due to its location on the shores of Lake Erie and the Huron River.

Development of the village occurred onthe west bank of the Huron River and moved west and south from the shores of the river and of Lake Erie. The population gradually increased, and schools were constructed population. By 1911, centralization of the schools in the village and township gained momentum. By this time, the many of the one-room schoolhouses became obsolete. The population continued to grow in the 1920s and 1930s with the but also became difficult to maintain. By the later part of the 1930s, a new school, supposedly the last school that Huron would ever have to build, was conceived.

After the levy to fund the construction was passed around 1938, Harold Parker, AIA, of Sandusky, Ohio, was Building in 1920, the Commercial Banking and Trust Company building in 1924 (NR listed 1982, Strobel Athletic Field and plans for McCormick School to utilize the more readily available concrete and incorporated attributes of the Art Moderne style. Some Huron residents had seen concrete school buildings in other states and urged Parker to alter his plans for Field and Stadium, were also concrete structures. New techniques for reinforcing concrete with metal netting, bars, and cables were developed in the early twentieth century and the popularity of concrete as a dominant commercial, industrial, and transportation-related building material was firmly established by 1940.

Additional significant technological innovations included the addition of super plasticizers, polymer modifiers, silica, and fiber reinforcements which increased the strength of concrete (Jester 1995). McCormick School not (Expires 5/31/2012) which the school sits was surveyed in 1938 and construction of the school likely began in 1939, McCormick School was hired as the architect for the project. Parker had designed notable buildings in Sandusky including the Register-Star News McCormick School. Two other structures that Parker had designed, the Register-Star News Building and Strobel Athletic National Park Service / National Register of Historic Places Registration Form public buildings and was especially rare for schools (McCormick 2001). The primary characteristics of the Art Moderne the building lacks ornamentation.

Further, McCormick School has an ivory exterior, also typical of Art Moderne structures. McCormick School is significant under National Register Criterion C in that it represents a relatively rare example of a not typically a style used in the construction of schools (McCormick 2001). McCormick School is one of only 11 schools both within the village and in the township. By 1880, the population of Huron had reached 1,038 and there was a crucial was listed on the National Register in 1982.

By making these changes and using strong, horizontal lines, Parker morphed McCormick School into a distinctive Art Moderne structure. It is unclear as to when construction actually began on roof of the centrally-located gymnasium-auditorium was originally intended to contain steel trusses. But, due to the lack of concrete construction was introduced in the United States by Anton Tedesko in 1933, and the first permanent concrete though on a small scale, was quite early.

The window sills were cast after the walls and were separated from the walls by an asphalt bond break. The intention was to prevent cracking of the sills over the control joints. The floors of the building are pan-joist construction and finished throughout with rubber tiling. The pan-joist flooring system consists of a floor slab, spaced, are supported on girders that rest on columns. The concrete, exterior walls of the school were finished with an $35,000 in equipment.

Several classrooms are transformed into office space and a box office, the extension off the northwest McCormick School remains a well-used and well-loved structure in Huron.

Not only have scores of students been construction in1943.The building has stood the test of time and is a reminder of the dedication that Huron residents had to education of their children. Further, McCormick School with its sleek, concrete design with strong horizontal lines curved walls, and glass block windows, provides a rare and striking example of the use of Art Moderne architecture for a public school in small town America.

This technique which used a minimum of scare materials, involved ivory coat of cement paint thus providing the sleek, stark Moderne look. The total cost of construction was $315,000, plus By 1950, the population of Huron had increased to 2,515, and there was a great need for more classroom space.
