This is the former Highland Middle School in Baltimore, Maryland.

Constructed in 1933 it was designed by architects Wyatt and Nolting and started life as the Patterson Park Junior High School.

Now, redeveloped as apartments, the building retains some of it's deco-era fittings including the light fixtures in the auditorium and a WPA mural. I'll didn't get inside so I'll have to go back to Bawlmer someday for a closer look.
