Roger Williams Public School No. 10, also known as South Scranton Catholic High School, is a historic school building located at Scranton, Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania.
Description
It was built about 1896, and is a two-story, I-shaped brick and sandstone building in a Late Victorian style. It features a central three-story entrance tower with a hipped roof. A two-story brick addition was built in 1965.
The public school was closed in 1941, and subsequently acquired by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Scranton for use as a consolidated Catholic high school. It was renamed in 1973, as Bishop Klonowski High School, and closed in 1982.
The property was acquired by Lackawanna Junior College in 1982.[2] In 2012, Goodwill Industries established an assisted housing complex in the building.
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.[1]
