Jordan School is a historic school building at 35 Wood Street in Lewiston, Maine.

The school was built in 1902 in an Italian Renaissance style by the architect William R. Miller, and the building served as Lewiston’s second high school until 1931. It was then a grammar school until 1983. The building was then converted to apartments. The school was named after Lyman G. Jordan, principal of the first high school for 15 years, Bates College professor of chemistry and biology, and member of the Lewiston school board. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.[2]
