Marlowe Consolidated School
Encyclopedia
The Marlowe Consolidated School was built in 1922 as an eight-room school to serve grades 1 through 8 in Marlowe, West Virginia
. The new school allowed a number of one-room schools in the area to be closed.
The Marlowe School is a two story brick building on a concrete base. As originally built there were four rooms on each of the two main levels, with a cafeteria and mechanical rooms in the basement. Each classroom was provided with a coatroom. Windows were concentrated on the front and rear of the building with sparsely fenestrated ends. A central stairway serves all levels. The classrooms retain their original wood wainscoting and much of their original character. One story additions have been added to the rear from the 1970s on. The building presently serves grades K through 2 as a primary school.
The Marlowe Consolidated School was listed on the National Register of Historic Places
in 2006.
