A look at the school a few years later. By 1927, the neighboring Academy of Music was torn down, and replaced with the Stanley Theatre. On the right, a 2006 shot shows that the name in stone still appears above the doorway.
33rd and The Alameda
City College moved to the new campus on 33rd Street where it remains to this day. On the front of the building are some neat stone features, which can be seen on Kilduff's Stone Faces page. Just to the West of the school was Eastern High School, which as since closed is is now a part of the Johns Hopkins University.

East North Avenue and Broadway
The second home for Eastern High School was on the southeast corner of East North Avenue and Broadway. The public high school , formally known as Eastern Female High School, was the topic of plenty of old postcards , as you can see by the images below. Across the street and bit to the West, the Samuel Ready School sat on the northeast corner of East North Avenue and Harford Road. A Sears Department store would replace that school, and when Sears closed the location, the State turned the old Sears building into a courthouse.

Looking south on Broadway towards Johns Hopkins Hospital and past that, Fell's Point and the Bay. Broadway was always famous for the areas of parks between the road surfaces.

In this postcard, a streetcar passes the front of Eastern High School at the intersection of Broadway. This picture shows Broadway as ending it's route at North Avenue, but over the years, Broadway has been extended all the way up to Harford Road.

Today, after being used for a while as a trade school, and later being converted into apartments, the old Eastern High School sits boarded up.

Eastern High school finally moved to it's third campus on 33rd Street and Loch Raven. The school closed down in 1986 , but the building has been renovated and is currently owned by the Johns Hopkins University.

Athol and Edmondson Avenues
In the late 1950's, Baltimore opened Edmondson High School across from the Edmondson Village Shopping Center.
East North Avenue & Calvert Streets
This is where I went to High school. ( Well, sort of. ) " Old Poly ", as it was commonly known as, had closed for years and I went to what is known as " New Poly ". " New Poly " was a complex of Poly and Western High Schools in a modern school complex at the intersection of West Cold Spring Lane and Falls Road. " Old Poly" sat vacant for years, and there was even talk about tearing the structure down, but plans were put into place for renovations and the old building is now the Baltimore School Administration offices.

In this old postcard view, you can see the original school design, later changed a bit as shown above with a section added to the middle and East end. The picture on the right shows the building today, in excellent shape, and much in the design of Poly when it first opened.

Western High School almost got as much attention on postcards as did the East North Avenue Eastern High School. Also known as Female High School in it's early days, the high school opened on Druid Hill Avenue, and when the school needed additional space, a wing was added to the south side of the school. Over the years, the Druid Hill building couldn't meet the needs of the school, and Western High school moved to the Gywnn Falls campus ( seen below ). The old Western High school building as been used as a school for younger students since it closed as Western High school. The picture on the right shows the Druid Hill entrance of the school, with incredible stone work everywhere.
