Description
'[San Marino's] new school plant consists of several buildings with a total floor area of 17,600 square feet and are typical of the architecture being produced in California at the present time. The illustration is of the sunlit court at one end of the classroom building.
The structure is one story in height and provides five classrooms, a children's rest room, a teachers' room, and a kindergarten to which are attached two workrooms. In addition to this, in the group are buildings which provide administrative offices, an auditorium, gymnasium, shops, and rooms for domestic science and the arts.
The construction is a combination of concrete and wood frame, the exterior walls being finished in stucco and roof covered with mission tile. The project was completed in June 1938 at a construction cost of $95,251 and a project cost of $103,425.'
