Randleman Graded School, also known as Randleman High School and Shaw Furniture Industries Showroom, is a historic school building located at Randleman, Randolph County, North Carolina. It was built in 1906, and is a two-story brick building, five-bays wide and three bays deep, with a low-hipped roof and flanking hip-roofed two-bay wings added in 1926. The building is Romanesque Revival influenced and features a projecting entrance pavilion with a massive Richardsonian Romanesque-influenced arch. In 1937, an extension to the east wing was added. The building housed a school until 1960, then a furniture showroom until 2000.[2]
