The former Kennebunk High School is a two-and-a-half story flat roofed Colonial Revival brick building 100 feet long and 65 feet wide with a projection in the rear of 20 feet by 37 feet for the gymnasium. Constructed in 1921-1922, with Mid-Century Modern additions in 1954 and 1962, the school is located in a residential neighborhood in the York County town of Kennebunk. Designed by the Boston architecture firm of Hutchins and French, the 1921-1922 building retains integrity of location, design, setting, material, workmanship, feeling and association. The period of significance is 1921-22, the date in which the school was constructed and obtained significance in the area of architecture and education for the town of Kennebunk. As a noteworthy example of early twentieth century Colonial Revival design and construction, the former Kennebunk High School was placed in the National Register of Historic Places at the local level of significance. Inasmuch as the construction of the new high school was a direct response to new state requirements and the inadequacy of existing school facilities, it is also significant under Criterion A, in the area of Education.
