History

The Paris Male Academy is a Greek Revival style, two-story, three-bay, side passage plan, brick building with a rear addition, built in 1854. It has a front gable roof and four brick pilasters on the front facade. The building housed the Paris Male Academy until 1869, after which it became a private residence.[2]: 5 

The Academy is significant under criterion A, in the area of Education, as it delivered a high level of education to students from the local area; and under criterion C, in the area of Architecture, as a rare surviving example of a building employed for private education in Missouri.[2]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on January 24, 1990.[1]
