Description
'The Lugonia Kindergarten is entirely detached from other buildings on the school site.
It is a one story and basement structure which contains one classroom, a group room, a library, and workroom, and a covered arcade or cloister. To break the monotony of the concrete surfaces of the ceiling, cork panels have been inserted in the roof slab and on the sides of the arched ceiling beams, which not only are decorative, but are of acoustical value. The low tile wainscot has inserts of colored tile illustrating Mother Goose and other characters of fairy tales and fables.
The construction is designed to resist earthquake disturbances and consists of reinforced-concrete footings, walls, floor, and roof. The roof is covered with Spanish tile.
The project was completed in September 1937 at a construction cost of $38,562 and a project cost of $43,238.'
