Hillside Park High School
Hillside Park High School, also known as Hillside High School, James A. Whitted Elementary School, and James A. Whitted Junior
High School, is a historic school building for African-American students located at Durham, Durham County, North Carolina. The original Classical Revival portion dates to 1922 and is a T-shaped, two-story building on a full basement. A three-story red-brick, T-shaped Modern Movement style addition was built in 1954–1955, with a one-story-on-basement gymnasium rear wing. Also on the property is a contributing greenhouse built about 1960. The school served the African-American student population of Durham until 1970, when the schools were integrated.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.
