Oyster Bay High School

USA / New York / Oyster Bay / East Main Street, 150
 secondary school, historical building
Designed by the noted firm of Tooker & Marsh in 1928. Before the school was built, the site was the home to Dr. Matthew Parish, who settled in Oyster Bay in the early 1700’s. The four story school building incorporates forms and detail of the Tudor, Gothic, Art Deco, and Beaux arts styles. A central three bay, four story section is flanked by symmetrical pairs of five bay wings which in turn are flanked by solid massive bookend sections. Throughout the façade, stone blocks cap the brick piers that divide each bay section from another these end as parapets above the roof. Below the parapet is a stone frieze with Gothic detail. A mock vaulted ceiling covers the vestibule. Inside, the main auditorium has similar Gothic details including diamond paned leaded windows, Tudor type wall paneling, stucco and stone quoined walls and a pair of tabernacle canopies that flank a decorated proscenium.
