James Russell Lowell Elementary School

James Russell Lowell Elementary School Lowell Elementary School (East Highland Park School) - Louisville, Kentucky Lowell Elementary is the
finest example of these, and one of the finest citywide.

The James Russell Lowell Elementary School is
architecturally significant as an excellent example of
both the vernacular, institutional architecture of the
period (1916) and of the Art Deco style as it was
incorporated into an institutional design. The original
section of the building, originally known as the
Highland Park School, is reminiscent of the residential
styles of this same period. It is

intact including the
only bell tower on a public school building remaining
in Louisville. In 1931, when several new school
buildings were constructed in the south end, nearly all
used the Art Deco style. The unusual entry tower with stone pilasters, panels
and cornice with stylized motifs is typical of the style
and well adapted here to an institutional use. Combined, these two very different building styles
compliment one another and are an integral part of the
development of Highland Park as a suburb of
Louisville.
