The William S. Peirce School is a historic school building that is located in the Southwest Center City neighborhood of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States.
Designed by Irwin T. Catharine and built between 1928 and 1929, it is a four-story, nine-bay, brick building that sits on a raised basement. Created in the Late Gothic Revival-style, it features pilasters with limestone caps and a projecting entrance pavilion with an arched opening.[1]
This historic building opened in 1928 as a K-8 school, but elementary grades were dropped in 1988.[2]
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.
By 2002 Universal Companies took control of the school.[3]
The school has been closed since 2007, although the building is still owned by the School District of Philadelphia.[4] [5]
