Lackawanna College Spire (Scranton Central)
Details
Media: Watercolor
Dimensions: 9x12
The distinctive spire and the glowing West Mountain Sandstone exterior evoke fond memories for many thousands of graduates from three different centuries. Scranton’s highly regarded Central High School was designed by Little and O’Connor in 1895. It served as a high school until 1991.
Lackawanna College purchased and renovated the building from 1994 to 1996. It is now the ‘central’ facility of its downtown campus complex. More than 1,500 students are enrolled annually in a wide range of academic disciplines.
