However, in a empty lot behind Millen Baptist Church at 100 Cleveland Avenue, there once stood a beautiful two story builiding, known as Millen High School. The main building was built in 1898, and was designed by Augusta architects Scroggs & Ewing. It was a two-story t-shaped wood- frame building with a brick veneer and standing seam metal hipped roof. The building featured Classical Revival details such as a symmetrical facade, tall, narrow arched windows, and projecting pavilions at each end The entry was recessed and featured an arched entry with double doors and a half-round transom. The interior included a 500- seat auditorium and eight classrooms . The foyer and auditorium formed the center section of the building. A hall ran the length of the building ending at a classroom at each end. There was a stairwell at each end of the hall leading to the second floor. The center of the second floor is the balcony of the auditorium and It was flanked by two classrooms on each side, including two added in 1941. The walls were plaster. Doors were paneled and feature transoms The floors and window trim are made of wood. The 1943 building was begun in 1941 by a Works Progress Administration crew and was completed in 1943. Designed by Brown & Eve of Augusta, it was constructed as an elementary school to replace the 1898 building. The one-story, L-shaped building is wood-framed with a brick veneer and standing seam metal roof. Like the earlier building, the 1943 building features Classical Revival details such as symmetrical facade, full-height pedimented entry portico, projecting pavilions. A lunchroom building was built in 1962 in between the other two buildings, and linked by covered walkways. The old Millen High School was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002. The present High School is located on Barney Avenue. Did you attend Old Millen High School? Do you have any pictures you'd like to share with our readers?
