Description

It was built about 1896, and is a two-story, "I"-shaped brick and sandstone building in a Late Victorian style. It features a central three-story entrance tower with a hipped roof. A two-story brick addition was built in 1965.

The public school was closed in 1941, and subsequently acquired by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Scranton for use as a consolidated Catholic high school. It was renamed in 1973, as Bishop Klonowski High School, and closed in 1982.

The property was acquired by Lackawanna Junior College in 1982.[2] In 2012, it is occupied by Goodwill Industries.

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.[1]
