Walbridge School is a two-story red brick building designed by Rockwell Milligan in the Jacobethan style characteristic of St. Louis public schools from this period. The structure features symmetrical massing with a central entrance bay, limestone trim, and decorative brickwork. Paired windows with stone sills and lintels provide rhythm across the façade, while the roofline incorporates subtle Gothic-influenced details. The building occupies a corner lot in Walnut Park East, with its primary elevation facing Davison Avenue. The design follows the standardized school plans Milligan developed during his tenure with the St. Louis Public Schools.
Walbridge School opened in 1922, designed by Rockwell Milligan, architect to the St. Louis Public Schools through the 1920s. It stands at 5000 Davison Avenue in Walnut Park East and served as a neighborhood elementary school. The school was named for Cyrus P. Walbridge (1849–1921), mayor of St. Louis from 1893 to 1897, who had presided over the City Council before his term and later headed the Bell Telephone Company of Missouri.
