Industrial High School (West Palm Beach, Florida)

Industrial High School is a former high school located at 800 11th St., West Palm Beach, Florida. The building is currently used by U. B. Kinsey/Palmview Elementary School. It opened in 1914 as the first high school for African Americans in Palm Beach County; the last class graduated in 1950, when a new school for African Americans, Roosevelt Junior-Senior High School, opened.[1] It was the "center of attention" for the black community "that straddled Tamarind Avenue."[2] (See Northwest Historic District.)
