Booker T. Washington School was built in 1910 and was designed by the firm of Miller & Yeager Architects. The structure was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002 for its historical significance in African-American education in the area.^[1]

In recent years through the end of the 2001-2002 school year, the building has housed Booker T. Washington High School, a school for pregnant, parenting and alternative students. Because of safety issues and compliance with current state standards, Washington High School moved from its original location to a new structure near Terre Haute South Vigo High School. As of June 2008, the original building was undergoing appraisal in preparation for being listed for sale.^[2]
