Originally known as Public School No. 4, District 9, this building was designed by Frank E. Davis. The school opened in 1882 with a building fronting on Tyler Street. According to its listing on the National Register of Historic Places, it featured “a steeply-pitched cross-gable roof with stepped parapet walls on the end gables, capped with terra cotta coping.” The building received an addition in 1915 to the designs of the firm Smith & May, which included the same patterns and materials as the original. Its historical significance is as follows, “The Clifton School is the sole surviving building that tangibly represents the educational experience of students living in the growing suburbs of Baltimore City in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries…Architecturally, it is representative of two periods of construction, and two different architectural styles that are compatible in materials.”
