History and atchitectural features
Designed by Henry deCoursey Richards and built between 1908 and 1909, this historic structure was a three-story, reinforced concrete, brick-faced building that was created in the Late Gothic Revival style. It featured a central Gothic arched entry with grotesques, limestone trim, and a cornice with terra cotta trim.[2] The school name was changed to Guion Bluford Elementary School in recognition of astronaut Guion Bluford, who attended Hanna School.[citation needed] The older portion of the school was demolished in 2010 and a replacement attached to its 1974 addition.
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.[1]
