Mars Hill Sites

Originally constructed as the town's high school during the 1930s, Mars Hill, North Carolina's striking stone Cornerstone Apartments—a private apartment complex—was constructed by the federal Works Progress Administration as the town's high school during the 1930s. The Rustic Revival-style building has also been known as Mars Hill School and Mars Hill Elementary School, and later, as Mars Hill's Community Center. It features a stone and concrete foundation, stone walls, and asphalt roof.
