Description: From the Blue Ridge Collectibles Landmark Series. Jefferson High School Roanoke, Virginia Hand painted ceramic figure Originally constructed in 1922, Jefferson High School served as Roanoke’s largest high school for half a century. It was in 1919 that the School Board began plans to build Jefferson High and the site on Campbell Avenue was purchased for $147,000 in 1922. Architect H. Coursy Richards employed a Tudor Revival-style popular at the time and Jefferson High School opened its doors to 1,000 students in 1924. The first class to graduate was in 1925 and the last in 1974. From 1924 to 1974 the school graduated over 19,000 students. Jefferson Center was created in 1989 by a special task force that partnered with Roanoke City Council to renovate rather than demolish Jefferson Senior High School. The mission of Jefferson Center was to re-establish the 121,000-square-foot building into a multi-use cultural center for community enrichment. Today Jefferson Center enriches lives through shared experiences by delivering premier live performances, transformative educational opportunities, and providing a special place for the community.
