From the Kenosha Civic Center web site (visit link) :
"Taking up an entire block of land, this three-story Neo-Classical square building features slightly projecting corners and pedimented entry pavilions. A prominent decorated cornice runs across the entire building and creates an unadorned parapet. Corinthian pilasters run between window banks on the second and third floors. Built of gray limestone, the building also features a rusticated first floor sitting on a pedestal foundation. The pedimented entry pavilion on the front facade features attached Corinthian columns between paired windows. Projecting corners of the building have recessed panels decorated by Corinthian columns and an arch with a keystone. The architect was John D. Chubb.

The location of the old Kenosha High School was the result of an almost unprecedented agreement between the City of Kenosha, Kenosha County, and the School Board. The school was later known as Central High School, then Mary D. Bradford High School, and is now the location of Reuther Central High School. Mary D. Bradford was a significant figure in the development of the educational system in
Kenosha."
