Parkersburg's current Tudor-style high school, then called Central Junior Senior High, was built in 1917 (seen here the following year) on its own large campus at Dudley Avenue between 20th and 23rd Streets.		An original architect's drawing envisioned the school on a street corner.

The wings were added in 1927.		The rear of the high school in 1918.
