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 annex on the northern side of the building, the right side in this view, was added in 1925 and the southern end was added in 1927 when the high school population had reached more than 400 students. This postally unused post card, circa late 1920s, was printed by Walraven Brothers Inc. of Dallas, Texas.
