Warren G. Harding Middle School is a historic public middle school in the Frankford neighborhood of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It is part of the School District of Philadelphia. The building was designed by architect Irwin T. Catharine and built in the mid-1920s (completed around 1924–1925). It is a three-story brick-and-limestone structure in the Colonial Revival style, about 8.3 acres in size, and about 17 bays wide by 12 bays deep. A notable feature is the projecting center entrance with arched openings, a stone cornice, and a balustraded parapet. The school is named after former President Warren G. Harding and cost just over $1 million to construct.
