ARGHITECTiJRAL DESCRIPTION <br />The Madison School is a two-story brick structure designed in the <br />Collegiate Gothic Style common for schools and [Tniversities during the first <br />half of the Twentieth Century. It is characterized by red brick laid in <br />running bond accentuated by details of limestone including water table <br />stringcourse, door and window surrounds, parapet caps, and ornamental relief. <br />The walls are punctuated with pilasters at intervals which mark changes in <br />parapet height which give emphasis to the elevations unrelated to functions. <br />The windows are wood double hung type. Some locations include leaded glass <br />divisions in square and diamond patterns. Typical classroom windows are <br />arranged in groups of six with 4 over six panes in each. An oriel window <br />graces the main academic area. <br />DBD <br />3/14/97 <br /> <br />
