Old Huntington High School is a historic high school building located at Huntington, Cabell County, West Virginia. It was built in 1916, and is a 4 1/2 story buff brick building in the Classical Revival style. It consists of a long rectangle with a shorter rectangular wing on each end of the main rectangle forming a "U" shape. The courtyard is enclosed with three additions completed in 1951 (gymnasium), 1956 (cafeteria), and 1977. The building contains 155,512 square feet (14,447.5 m²) of space. The kitchen is located in an older red brick building built in 1916, built originally as a carriage house. It was used as a school until 1995, when a new facility was constructed, known as Huntington High School.^[2] It is now known as The Renaissance Center. Part of the building was converted into apartments. The YMCA uses part of it for workout facilities and a daycare. The building also houses studio space, an auditorium, and small art gallery.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.^[1]
