The Willow Consolidated High School, built 1926, is significant as an excellent example of school architecture typical in small American towns in the first half of the twentieth century. It is an especially intact, distinctive, and tangible expression of the movement toward consolidation of schools in rural areas of South Carolina and the South. This school, built for the white high school students of Norway and the surrounding communities, served the town as its high school until the 1960-61 school year, when it became Norway Junior High School. In 1973 it became Norway Middle School; it closed in the late 1980s and has been vacant since. The school is an inverted “T” shaped one-story brick veneer building with an auditorium located at the center of the rear elevation and the administrative/classroom section in the front section. The building contains 12,250 square feet. It features a raised wood frame floor structure and wood frame walls. The original slate roof has been replaced with composition shingles. The roof form is gable-on-hip with projecting cross gables at the center and ends of the building’s façade. An agriculture building (1940) on the southeast side of the campus also contributes to the historic and architectural significance of the property. It is a wooden frame building with a V-crimp metal roof, gable front and arched entrance. Listed in the National Register July 11, 2006.
