The school faces east (not toward University Avenue), and the long axis of its roof is oriented perpendicular to Spring Harbor Drive. The asymmetrical building consists of a one-and-one-half story, front-facing section and a one-story side-facing section. The entire building rests on a poured concrete foundation and is faced with cream and multi-colored brick. The low-pitched, gabled roof displays cantilevered eaves and has been sheathed with asphalt shingles. Metal curtain windows and bands of metal windows can be seen throughout the school. The Spring Harbor Middle School features design elements indicative of 1950s-60s architecture, including unusual roof lines, cantilevered overhangs, window banding, curtain windows, patterned brick, and walls extending into the landscape. The school retains maintains good integrity." - "CTH MS (University Ave), Allen Boulevard-N Segoe Rd", WisDOT ID #5992-08-12(79), Prepared by Rachel E Bankowitz and Elizabeth L Miller (2010). |
