Description
“The new Magnolia School replaces a four-room frame structure which had served the school district for 50 years and which was heated by stoves and lacked proper sanitary accommodations.
The new building is one story in height, with provision in the basement for the heating plant, and provides four classrooms and an auditorium with a stage.
The construction is semifireproof. The exterior walls are red brick backed up with hollow tile and trimmed with wood and limestone. The first floor is a concrete slab and the roof construction is wood covered with slate.
The project was completed in June 1935 at a construction cost of $73,536 and a project cost of $80,445.”
