Clarendon School is a historic school building located in Arlington, Virginia. The structure was built in 1910 based on a design by noted Virginia architect Charles M. Robinson. In 1944, the building was renamed the Matthew Maury Elementary School. The building ceased operating as a school after the 1972-1973 school year. In 1977, the building was converted for use as a studio space for local artists. The Arlington Arts Center, a non-profit organization, has operated the building since that time, offering art classes, educational programs, exhibitions, and studio space. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.^[2]
