EAST LITERATURE MAGNET SCHOOL
Located at 110 Gallatin Road, the former East High School building was completed in the 1932. Designed by Marr and Holman, a prominent Nashville architectural firm of the time, the building exhibits Art Deco stylistic characteristics. The former East Junior High School was completed in 1937 and designed by George Waller. It was part of the first phase of a large school construction project undertaken by the city with the aid of the Public Works Administration funds. The four story building exhibits Art Deco and Classical Revival details.
The earliest building on the campus is the Gillespie-Malone house, which was moved from its original site fronting Gallatin Road to its present to make way for the construction of East High in 1931. The house was constructed in 1915 in the Classical Revival style and clad in limestone.
