History and architectural features
The school consists of two distinct buildings. The original section was built between 1894 and 1896, and is a two-and-one-half-story, five-bay, stone building with a hipped roofhich was designed in the Colonial Revival style.
A three-story addition was built immediately to the south of the first building between 1928 and 1929. It is a brick and stone Art Deco-style building designed by Irwin T. Catharine.
Both buildings were added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.
In 2012, the School Reform Commission of the Philadelphia School District closed it as an elementary school; it then reopened as a selective admission middle school, AMY Northwest.
