Project
Summary

In 1929, the old main building was demolished to make way for a new one, one with an earthquake-proof and fire-proof structure designed by Ralph C. Flewelling. The structure was built using monolithic construction throughout, with decorative details cast in place. Flewelling’s design earned him top honors nationwide from the US Department of Education. After the 1933 earthquake, Flewelling also designed new Kindergarten, Cafeteria and Manual Training Buildings.
