the old deaf school


The last remaining building of the Ohio School for the Deaf campus became Cristo Rey Columbus High School in 2013. The building opened in 1899 built in the style of a French chateau. There are fleur-de-lis stone ornaments on the building. The Deaf School moved in 1953. Facing the school, there is now a beautiful topiary park, where other buildings had been. The bushes are shaped after Georges Seurat's best known painting, in which the bourgeoisie enjoy an afternoon on an island in the Seine.
Two entrance archways have grotesques. They are mostly human faces, some exaggerated.
