Geocache Description:

The most impressive deco-era structure in Belhaven is the Bailey Magnet School. Cache is in City Park next to the school.

Architect N.W.Overstreet made the cover of a 1938 Life magazine for the school's forward look and his revolutionary technique of formed-in-place concrete. But the real drama is in the details; flanking the front steps are carved stone reliefs of Andrew Jackson with his troops and Chief Pushmataha with his braves, allies in the Indian wars. Visitors enter terrazzoed halls and a lofty auditorium with ornate columns and a stylized horse-and-rider sculpture.

A magnet school is a school which attracts a voluntary enrollment of students of all races and backgrounds by offering special curricular and instructual approaches not found in traditional neighborhood schools.

Please practice CITO while doing this cache. The City Of Jackson would appreciate it.
