Description
Gladstone School, located on the corner of Hazelwood Avenue and Gladstone Street, was dedicated on May 7, 1915. The school, designed by architect O.M. Topp, replaced the nearby Hazelwood Elementary School. In 1923 an addition to the structure was completed that included several new classrooms and an auditorium that could accommodate approximately four hundred students. In 1926 a new building was built that was connected to the original structure which contained fourteen classrooms, two playrooms, a swimming pool, and two gymnasiums. Gladstone School is the only building in the entire Pittsburgh public school system that began as an elementary school, changed to a junior high school in 1923, served as a senior high school in 1958, and became a middle school in 1976.
