Oconto High School

 
A short notice in an 1893 newspapers announced that seven architects had presented plans for the new Oconto high school and that those of William Waters were selected, also mentioned was that the building was to coast $32,000.  This was to be the third building to house the high school and it was completed in 1894.  The school had a center pavilion, three stories high which was flanked by sections of two stories.  The building sat on a high limestone foundation with the superstructure made up of red brick and limestone trim.  Four large chimneys dominated the roof line which was capped with a tall bell tower.  Both side section had an entrance, and the front door was not centered but was to the far left, tight against the side section, this gave the building an unbalanced look.  

By 1939 however the school was in bad condition and was condemned, the second and third stories were removed, and classroom wings added, more additions came in 1951 and 1961.  By 1969 a new school was built.
