Marker Text On Sep. 30, 1947, the Crane Board of Trustees proposed $1,050,000 to build a new high school campus for the growing community. The board and Supt. L.L. Martin hired architect Sylvan Blum Haynes, noted for designing several other schools and residences and the Lubbock County Courthouse (1950). The Crane High School by architectural firm Haynes and Kirby was similar to Haynes’ previous design for the school in Carlsbad, New Mexico. This was Haynes’ final Art Deco design, a horizontal massing of buff brick with concrete ornamentation, featuring regular and grouped pilasters and a crenellated entrance tower. The new school opened in 1949. Recorded Texas Historic Landmark - 2016
