Property Features
The Sparta High School exhibits plain brick surfaces ornamented with Gothci Revival architectural details. This building is characterized mainly by projecting entrance bays or pavilions designed to suggest Gothic styled towers ornamented with arched entrances.
The Sparta High School was constructed during the year 1922-1923 by local contractors, the Naset Brothers for a contract price of $190,200. This school was designed by regional important architects Parkinson and Dockendorff from La Crosse, WI. It was built when the earlier school on the same block in 1895 did not provide enough space for the growing school population.
The Sparta High School and the Depot School Primary School at 604 Walrath St. (MP 32/7) are the only well-preserved, extant Sparta Public School buildings known to remain in the city.
