This aerial shows the “new” Bloomington High School, corner of Towanda Avenue and Locust Street on the city’s eastside, roughly one year before opening. A local firm headed by Edgar E. Lundeen and Dean F. Hilfinger served as architects for this underappreciated modernist beauty. The price tag was around $3 million, or the equivalent of $24.5 million in 2016 dollars. BHS opened its doors to more than 950 sophomores, juniors, and seniors in September 1959.What catches your eye in this aerial?
