The Demopolis Public School also known as Demopolis Junior High School is a historic public school building in the city of Demopolis, Alabama.^[1] It was designed by architect Frank Lockwood in the Beaux-Arts style and was completed in 1914. The new two-story brick building replaced an earlier two-story Queen Anne style wood-frame structure that was built in 1889 and burned in 1913. The contractors for the new building were J.T. Clancy and W.M. Neely. The building continued as a part of the Demopolis City School System until it closed its doors in June 1981.^[2] The school was added to the National Register of Historic Places on October 28, 1983.^[1] The building now houses a theater group, the Canebrake Players.^[2]

The site was previously occupied by Marengo Military Academy building, which was destroyed by fire in 1913.^[1]
