OLD SCHOOL OF THE DAY
Doan Elementary School (Doan Classroom Apartments)
1350 E. 105th St.
Cleveland, OH
The Doan School is located at 1350 East 105th St. in Cleveland, Ohio. Built in 1904, Doan School is an unusually fine example of turn-of-the-century 2nd Renaissance Revival public school architecture. It also displays, through its two-stage construction, the transition taking place at the time in the natural lighting of school classrooms. The building is distinguished from other schools of the same period in Cleveland and elsewhere by its highly fashionable styling and its extensive amount of ornamentation. The building is a significant work by the prolific architect Frank S. Barnum, who during this turn-of-the-century period served as the principal architect of many Cleveland Board of Education school buildings. Now known and used as the Doan Classroom Apartments, the structure was listed with the National Register of Historic Places on August 23, 1984.
