Old Berlin High School is a historic former secondary school building located in Berlin, New Hampshire, United States. Constructed in the early 20th century, the building exemplifies the period’s institutional architecture, featuring a brick façade, symmetrical window arrangement, and a modest ornamental cornice.
The structure originally served the educational needs of the city’s secondary students until a newer high‑school facility was erected later in the century. Following its conversion from a public school, the building has been repurposed for various community and commercial uses.
In recognition of its architectural and historical significance, Old Berlin High School was listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in 2014 (Reference Number 14000768). The NRHP nomination highlighted the building’s role in the development of public education in Berlin and its representation of early‑20th‑century school design in the region.
