David Landreth School is a historic school building located in the Point Breeze neighborhood of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.[1] It was built in 1889 after the original school caught fire (it had been on the nursery grounds of the D. Landreth Seed Company).[1][2]

It is a two-story, three-bay, brick building with a stone foundation in the Gothic Revival style. A three-story, nine-bay, yellow brick addition was built in 1928. It features a large corbelled brick cornice, sandstone sills and lintels, and three large brick chimneys with corbelled caps.[1] The school was named after the founder of the D. Landreth Seed Company.[2]

The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.[3]

The Queen Memorial Branch of the Philadelphia Public Library opened in its current location within the Landreth School building on Tuesday, January 17, 1995 in the Landreth Apartments, a residence for seniors that occupies the former school. Mamie Nichols, then Executive Director of the Point Breeze Federation, was a prime leader behind the renovation of the school into a "multi-purpose achievement center."[4]
