William Byrd High School Historic District
The William Byrd High School Historic District encompasses a historic school complex at 100 and 156 Highland Road in Vinton, Virginia. Built in 1933, the main building is a good local example of Classical Revival architecture, while a two-story annex added in 1938 exhibits Moderne styling. The facility also includes a single-story vocational training building, and athletic fields. The school exhibits the change in school building trends, as differentiated from the earlier Roland E. Cook Elementary School. Originally built as a segregated school serving white students, it was integrated in 1964–5, but closed in 1969.
The school was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2017.
