former students who lost their lives in World War II. The brick and
terra-cotta building is a striking example of the Collegiate Gothic
style which was introduced to public school architecture in New York
by C.B.J. Snyder, the Superintendent of Buildings for the Board of Education.

The building received
landmark status in 1990.
