1214 Paris Ave.
Port Royal, SC (Beaufort County)
The Port Royal School is located at 1214 Paris Avenue in the town of Port Royal, Beaufort County, South Carolina. The school sits on a large block bounded by 14th Street to the north, 12th Street to the south, Paris Avenue to the east, and London Avenue to the west. Constructed in 1911, it is a two-story, Colonial Revival, solid concrete block, gable-on-hipped roof building with prominent exterior chimneys and a four-sided replica cupola whose original may have served at one time as a bell tower.
The Civic League of Port Royal initiated the construction of the 1911 Port Royal School building by urging the Beaufort County School Board in 1910 to appropriate $3,000 to cover the cost of a two-story cement building. The Town of Port Royal, who obtained the land from James B. Hull in June 1910, sold the "desirable lot of ample size," consisting of four lots in the block bounded by Paris Avenue, London Avenue, lih Street, and 14th Street, to the Trustees of School District Number Nine for a mere $14.00 in September 1910.
