The massive University City High School was designed by Hugo K. Graf and Wilber Tyson Trueblood, in what I would describe as an Art Deco style. It combines older sculpting traditions with more modern aesthetics in massing and line. It holds the roundabout where it sits with a strong presence. It opened in 1930.
I am trying to find a photo of University City High School BEFORE the landscaping was installed in front of the entrance to the building. I graduated in 1963 and none of that was there at that time. We are having an 80th birthday party and I want an original picture of the building to put on the birthday cake. I know this picture is not the original because it has the digital sign off to the side.
