Old Albuquerque High School, Albuquerque

The former Albuquerque High School campus, known as Old Albuquerque High, is a historic landmark located in the Huning Highlands neighborhood of Albuquerque, New Mexico. Comprising five buildings designed in the Gothic Revival style, the campus is protected by the city and was added to the New Mexico State Register of Cultural Properties in 1977.

The original building, called Old Main, was constructed in 1914 and faces Central Avenue on the southeast corner of the campus. It was designed by Henry C. Trost and housed a library, an auditorium, classrooms, a gymnasium, and a science laboratory. The Manual Arts Building, designed by George M. Williamson, was added in 1927 and featured a woodshop, machine shop, and classrooms.

Three additional buildings were added to the campus in the late 1930s, including the Classroom Building (1937), Gymnasium (1938), and Library (1940), all designed by Louis Hesselden and funded by the New Deal. The Gymnasium, located at the north end of the campus, is the largest building with 68,000 square feet of floor space, while the Classroom Building and Library face Broadway on the west side of campus.

In 1974, Albuquerque High School relocated to a new campus, leaving the old buildings vacant for several decades until a joint venture between the city and a private developer was established to convert the buildings into loft apartments. The project began in 2001 and preserved many interior details, including doors, handrails, and blackboards. The gymnasium and library reading room were also preserved as protected spaces.
