Attucks High School

Attucks High School (1906) was Hopkinsville's first school for African Americans. It became a middle school after desegregation, closed in 1988, and is being redeveloped as a community center after being empty for years.[4]

Waller was the principal architect in Hopkinsville from 1900 until 1915.[1]
