About this property
The Peake High School is a historic school building at 1600 Caddo Street in Arkadelphia, Arkansas. This H-shaped single-story brick building was built in 1929 with assistance from the Rosenwald Fund on land given by J. Ed Peake, a school principal for whom the school was named. The building was used as a high school for African Americans until 1960, when a new building was constructed adjacent to this one, which was converted to an elementary school.
