Eastern High School, established in 1844, (along with Western High School), was a historic all-female, public high school located on East 33rd Street (boulevard) at Loch Raven Boulevard (across from old Memorial Stadium in Baltimore City, Maryland, 21218, U.S.A. It is to the west from the hilltop campus of The Baltimore City College, - "The Castle on the Hill" at 33rd Street and The Alameda, a formerly all-boys public high school, the third oldest in America - founded 1839, but now coeducational since 1979. E.H.S. was formerly a part of the Baltimore City Public Schools system (established 1829), until closed in 1986. The old 1936-1938 brick with limestone trim school building was renovated in the 1990s and is currently owned and used for offices by the Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.
The last of several buildings in its 140-some year history was a three-story, "H"-shaped structure, with a main lateral section and four projecting wings. It has a steel and concrete superstructure frame with red brick cladding and carved limestone trim in the Tudor Revival (or Jacobethan)style. One of two historically female public high schools in Baltimore City, the Eastern Female High School (along with "twin sister" Western High) were both established in 1844, a few months apart, as the first of their kind in the nation. E.H.S. was located in several buildings over the years including an earlier landmark Greek Revival styled structure on Aisquith Street off Orleans Street, in East Baltimore's Jonestown/Old Town neighborhood, designed by R. Snowden Andrews and later relocated to the southeast corner of Broadway and East North Avenue.
