the former Niagara Falls High School is a historic high school located at Niagara Falls, NY.   It was built in 1903, and rebuilt in 1924 and added to the existing gymnasium structure, and designed by local architect Simon Larke, who also designed the James G. Marshall House. The original structure is in the Neoclassical revival style. An addition was constructed in 1963.
The building was threatened with demolition in the early 2000s, but was spared and is currently used as the Niagara Arts & Cultural Center. The multi-arts center features over 60 artist studios, two galleries, two theaters, a certified sound stage and movie production facility, the Niagara Falls High School alumni center and a café and gift shop.  (info wikipedia)
