Designed by architect Herbert H. Hewlett and built by Byrnes & McCauley contractors, Fayetteville High School was built in 1908 at a cost of $35,000. The school was built on School Avenue between Center and Meadow on land where the first brick home in Fayetteville was built in 1836 by Lodowic Brodie and A.B. Anthony. The high school was later converted into a junior high and then razed in the early 1970s to make way for erection of Hillcrest Tower. This postally unused post card was published by the Frisco Drug Store, circa 1915.
