The Main Street School is a historic school building located in Port Washington in Nassau County, New York, United States.

Description

[edit]

The school was completed in 1909 in the Georgian Revival style. It was built as a two-story, brick building with stone detailing and a cement-stucco faced raised basement level. A third story was added during a 1917 expansion. It features a steep gable roof topped by an ornamental cupola with four clock faces. The roof has five gable dormers with round-headed windows.[2]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places and the New York State Register of Historic Places in 1983.[1][3] Two years later, on July 23, 1985, it was listed as a Town of North Hempstead Designated Landmark.[4][5]
