Original J.A. Smith Middle School – Chillicothe, Ohio

Built in 1931 on Arch Street, this beloved Chillicothe landmark originally served as Chillicothe High School. In 1963, it became J.A. Smith Middle School, named in honor of longtime principal John A. Smith. The school closed in 2007 and was later demolished, but its iconic cupola was preserved and relocated to the Chillicothe athletic stadium.
