History and architectural features
editDesigned by Lloyd Titus, the last non-architect to serve as the chief draftsman (1901–1905) of the Department of Buildings of the Philadelphia School Board, this school building contained three stories and was designed in the Colonial Revival style with a hipped roof. It was destroyed sometime before 2008 and replaced by ball courts.[2]
The Richardson L. Wright School should not be confused with the Richard R. Wright School, which is currently operating in north Philadelphia.
