History

Built in 1925–26, its facility was a two-story brick building with 11 bays along its front facade. It has a two-story auditorium extending to the rear. [2] [3]

It was deemed "significant in the area of architecture as Baskin's most pretentious and monumental structure." Since its construction it has been a community focal point. [2] [3]

The school moved into a different building in 1977. [4] The 1926 building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as "Baskin High School Building" on October 7, 1981. [1]

The school district and the Louisiana Trust for Historical Preservation (LTHP) agreed in 2009 that if repairs were done to the school, then it would not be demolished. [5] LTHP spent $31,000 in order to fix the building's roof. [6]

The district moved to have the school demolished when the agreement expired on August 10, 2019. [6] The school was razed in July 2021, [7] and its listing was removed from the National Register in 2024. [8]

The History of Louisiana Tech University began when the Industrial Institute and College of Louisiana was founded in Ruston, Louisiana in 1894. The institute was founded to develop an industrial economy in the state of Louisiana. Four years later, the school was renamed the Louisiana Industrial Institute when Louisiana adopted the Constitution of 1898. When the Constitution of 1921 was passed, the school changed its name again to Louisiana Polytechnic Institute to reflect the school's evolution from a trade school into a larger and broader technical institute. Although the university was informally called Louisiana Tech for about five decades after the 1921 name change, it was not until 1970 when Louisiana Polytechnic Institute officially changed its name to Louisiana Tech University. Over the course of its history, the school grew from a small industrial institute with one building to a university with five colleges and an enrollment of around 11,800 students.
