Barton Academy is a historic Greek Revival school building located on Government Street in Mobile, Alabama, United States.

By early 1836 the building committee had managed to pull together $50,000 in lottery funds, a $15,000 municipal loan, and additional private donations.

Construction commenced on February 13, 1836, the same day as Government Street Presbyterian, with Charles Dakin as the supervising architect.

[6] The Barton building project proved to be more complex than the one on Government Street Presbyterian, with Dakin forced to spend much more of his time supervising the construction.

Then, on March 9, 1837, the building committee determined that work done on the roof was incomplete or faulty, resulting in water damage to the interior plaster.

The building can be visually divided into a central block with a two-story, pedimented, hexastyle Ionic portico, five bays wide, with wrought-iron balustrades.

[6] Barton has had many unsympathetic additions over the years since construction, resulting in an interior that currently bears little resemblance to the original plan.

[7] The school board relocated its central office in 2007 and was initially working with preservation agencies in an effort to have the building restored.

[8] The restoration effort stalled on January 28, 2009, when the school board delayed a decision on setting aside an additional $700,000 for the renovation of Barton.
