Artist & Architect of the Jewel on the Hill: Walter Roy McCornack

Carl Ekberg will present: “Artist and Architect of the Jewel on the Hill: Walter Roy McCornack” in the Patsy Cline Theatre at Handley. Ekberg will also discuss the consequential alliance in 1919 of R. Gray Williams, President of the Handley Board of Directors; Fred Clerk, first superintendent of the Winchester Public Schools; and Walter McCornack, architect of the school. This important triumvirate, often overshadowed by John Handley himself, had a huge impact on what Handley High School would become – its type of school, educational philosophy, building design, and site plan.
