The Mer Rouge High School, at 500 S. 14th St. in Mer Rouge, Morehouse Parish in northern Louisiana, was built in 1925. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.[1]
It is a two-story, brick veneer building. It was designed by J.W. Smith Architects of Monroe, Louisiana.
It was deemed significant "as a milestone in the history of public education in the community, and perhaps even more importantly, its auditorium was Mer Rouge’s community center. As one longtime citizen explained, in rural areas, schools are much more than just schools; they were the “heart of the community,” where all manner of large events took place."[2]
In 2004, the building had stood vacant since 1997.[2]
