The former Blume High School is a historic building in downtown Wapakoneta, Ohio, United States. Built in 1908 in a mix of architectural styles, it was designed by architects Frank Packard and W.M. Runkle.[1] It was the first exclusive home of Wapakoneta High School. Prior to that time, WHS was housed with other grades.[2]

The original part of the high school was built at a cost of $41,315. In the mid-1920s, it was expanded with the construction of a gymnasium, a library, and the "Red Brick Section" addition; while the last portion was built with money raised from bonds, the library and gym were financed with a bequest from L.N. Blume.[3]{{rp|112}}

Growth in the Wapakoneta City School District resulted in overcrowding by the mid-1950s.[3]{{rp|112}} After a series of failed attempts, the school board succeeded in winning voter approval for the construction of a new school in 1956, and the new Wapakoneta High School building, which today serves as the Wapakoneta Middle School, opened at the beginning of 1959.[3]{{rp|113}} Blume was converted into a junior high school for several years, but a 1988 vote resulted in the school's closing by 1990.[3]{{rp|112}}

In 1996, the former Blume High School was listed on the National Register of Historic Places because of its architecture.[1]
