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.
