The original Columbia County High School is a historic building in Lake City, Florida, United States, located at 528 West Duval Street. It is presently the site of Lake City Junior High School.

[edit] History

It was built in 1921 and was the only high school in Columbia County. When enrollment exceeded capacity, it was replaced by a larger facility on Pennsylvania Avenue in 1957 which was called Columbia High School. The original High School was used as the School Board Administrative offices for a time, then converted into Lake City Junior High School in the mid-1970s. It is now the Columbia County School Board.

On November 15, 1993, the building was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.
