Inscription. Built in 1923 as the Monroe County High School. For 90 years the school served as a high school, middle school and elementary school. In 2014 the City of Key West acquired the property for adaptive reuse as the new city hall. The interior of the building was demolished with special care to preserve the structure's outer facade and repurpose a wide range of materials for the reconstruction. The interior was replaced with a state of the art, LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) rated building.
