Central High School (Painter, Virginia)

Central High School is a historic high school building located near Painter, Accomack County, Virginia.

History

Central High School was built in 1932, with an addition in 1935, and is a two-story, T-shaped, brick building with brick and stone detailing in the Art Deco style. The 1935 addition was funded by the Public Works Administration.

The building served as a high school until 1984, when it was converted to a middle school.

It was sold by Accomack County to a New York furniture designer in 2008, who again relisted the property in 2020.

Also on the property are a contributing one-story wood-frame double classroom building, one-story vocational school building, and a one-story Colonial Revival style dwelling that served as the home economics building.

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2011.
