Crowley
CROWLEY CONSOLIDATED HIGH SCHOOL
200 Main St.
State Register 6/9/1999, 5CW.27
Constructed in 1920, the building represents a second stage of rural
school construction, reflecting the development of facilities that
addressed the needs of high school students. Its larger size, two-story
brick construction and inverted T-shaped plan, which included a
gymnasium at the rear, is typical of the type of building rural
communities constructed for educational facilities that went beyond
the eighth grade.
CROWLEY SCHOOL
301 Main St.
State Register 3/10/1993, National Register 7/28/1999, 5CW.26
Constructed in 1914, the one-story, red brick building has a raised
basement. Architectural details include trios of round arched windows
and a large ornate wood shingled bell tower. It is the only known
example of the Second Renaissance Revival style in the county. The
school is also the oldest public building in Crowley County. Vacant
for fifteen years, a restoration project that began in 1994 enabled
it to reopen as a community center, municipal facility, and museum.
