The building depicted here is the fourth school to occupy the corner of South Westnedge and Vine. Built in 1912 as a solution to overcrowding in the 3rd building, the old Kalamazoo Central High School building has since undergone numerous renovations, particularly following the construction of the new Central High School on Drake Road in 1972. The photograph on the left was taken in approximately 1940 by local photographer, Mamie Austin. The photograph on the right was taken in 2012 by WMU School of Art student Ryan Petersmar. Today, the building is the home of Chenery Auditorium.
