Clarendon School is a historic school building located in the Clarendon neighborhood of Arlington, Virginia. The structure was built in 1910 based on a design by noted Virginia architect Charles M. Robinson. In 1944, the building was renamed the Matthew Maury Elementary School. The building ceased operating as a school after the 1972-1973 school year. In 1977, the building was converted for use as a studio space for local artists. The Arlington Arts Center, a non-profit organization, has operated the building since that time, offering art classes, educational programs, exhibitions, and studio space.[3]
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.[1]
