Flushing High School

Founded in 1875, Flushing High School is the oldest public high school in New York City. It has a distinctive neo-gothic style with turrets and gargoyles. It was built between 1912 and 1915, but was the subject of further construction in later years. The building was designated as a landmark by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission in 1991.
