Texas Historic The 1924 school features cast concrete bands, sills, parapet molding, and quoins. Geometric decorative motifs are executed in soldier bricks and cast concrete blocks. The rectangular-plan building is symmetrically arranged with recessed and projecting bays and vertically aligned multi-light steel windows. Front and side entrances, accessed through arched porticos, lead to a central corridor running the length of the interior on all three floors. Converted to use as Killeen’s City Hall in 1993 with minimal alterations to character-defining features, Killeen High School retains integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling and association to a high degree. ____________________________________________________________________________________
