#44: THIS SCHOOL STRUCTURE IS ORIENTED NORTH-SOUTH AND ITS PRIMARY ENTRANCE WAS ON THE EAST ELEVATION FACING THE SECTION LINE ROAD. THE STONE FAÇADE EXTENDS FROM THE CONCRETE WATER TABLE TO THE ROOFLINE EXCEPT OVER THE GABLE ROOFED RECESSED PORCH. IN THIS AREA, PLYWOOD COVERED THE AREA FROM THE PORCH ROOF TO THE STRUCTURE ROOF. THE CONCRETE-FLOORED PORCH IS ACCESSED BY FOUR CONCRETE STEPS (MODERN STEEL BANISTERS ARE ON EACH SIDE). FOUR SQUARED CONCRETE PILLARS TOPPED WITH WOOD SUPPORT THE GABLE PORCH AND HAD BEEN WHITEWASHED. THE PORCH CEILING IS A WHITEWASHED WAFER-BOARD. THE PORCH AREA PROTECTS A BRASS WPA 1939 PLAQUE ATTACHED NEAR THE NORTHERN DOORWAY. THE DOORWAY AND ALL SIX WINDOWS ON THIS FACE HAVE CONCRETE LINTELS. THE CONCRETE LUG SILL ON THE WINDOWS HAD ALSO BEEN WHITEWASHED. A MODERN ADDITION ON THIS SIDE IS A CENTRAL AIR CONDITIONER UNIT THAT ACCESSES THE CRAWL SPACE THROUGH A STEEL GRATED VENT CONSTRUCTED BETWEEN THE DOUBLE WINDOW AND SMALL SINGLE WINDOW SOUTH OF THE PORCH (ANOTHER GRATED VENT IS IN SITU NORTH OF THE PORCH BETWEEN THE DOUBLE AND SINGLE WINDOW) LARGE CEDARS HAD ONCE GROWN ADJACENT TO THE STRUCTURE ON THIS SIDE BUT ALL BUT ONE (AT THE NE CORNER) HAVE BEEN CUT DOWN.THE NORTH FACE OF THE STRUCTURE LOOKS OUT OVER WHAT IS NOW THE GRAVELED DRIVEWAY AND PARKING LOT FOR THE BAILY COMMUNITY CHURCH. TWO SMALL WINDOWS PLACED HIGH ON THE WALL HAVE CONCRETE SILLS AND LINTELS. THE PLYWOOD GABLE END IS NOT VENTED BU A STEEL GRATED VENT IS PRESENT IN THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF THE WALL. IN THE CENTER OF THE WATER TABLE ON THIS SIDE IS A SMALL DOORWAY NOW CLOSED WITH A STEEL COVER. THIS MAY HAVE BEEN A COAL CHUTE.THE SOUTH FACE IS SIMILAR IN MORPHOLOGY TO THE NORTH EXCEPT THAT A SINGLE CONCRETE LINTELED DOORWAY, ACCESSED BY A TWO-STEP CONCRETE STOOP, IS IN THE SW CORNER AND ONLY ONE SMALL WINDOW IS IN THE SE CORNER. THE CONCRETE WATER TABLE IS NOT EXPOSED ON THIS SOUTH END. THE WEST FACE OF THIS WPA STRUCTURE IS THE MOST MODIFIED. ORIGINALLY IT APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN N TO S: A SINGLE DOORWAY AT THE NW CORNER ACCESSED BY A SIX-STEP CONCRETE STOOP AND SIX SETS OF TWO TALL WINDOWS. AT THE CENTER OF THE OF THE WEST WALL IS AN OUTSET CHIMNEY. THE WINDOWS ARE COVERED WITH FIBERBOARD. EXTENDING BELOW THE ROOFLINE IS A PLYWOOD COVER THE ONLY OTHER ORIGINAL FEATURE VISIBLE ON THIS FACE IS ANOTHER STEEL GRATED VENT.A 1980S SANCTUARY ADDITION CONNECTS TO THE WEST WALL OF THE WPA PORTION THROUGH THE THIRD SET OF WINDOWS. THE ADDITION IS SIDED WITH VERTICAL WOODEN PANELS THAT HAD BEEN WHITEWASHED. BOTH THE ENCLOSED WALKWAY AND SANCTUARY BUILDING ARE GABLE ROOFED AND HAVE ENCLOSED SOFFITS. A GLASS DOUBLE DOOR IS AT THE NE CORNER; A SINGLE STEEL DOOR WITH A SHORT HANDICAPPED ACCESSIBLE RAMP IS AT THE NW CORNER. FOUR WINDOWS PROVIDE LIGHT TO THE SANCTUARY ON BOTH THE NORTH AND SOUTH ELEVATIONS. THE ENCLOSED WALKWAY IS ALSO LIT BY A SIMILAR WINDOW TYPE ON THE NORTH SIDE. THE WEST SIDE HAS NO OPENING. A PVC ENCLOSED WATER CUT-OFF VALVE IS ON THE WEST SIDE. A SECOND CENTRAL AIR CONDITIONER IS INSTALLED NEAR THE EAST END OF THE SANCTUARY AND IS VISIBLE ON THE SOUTH FACE. |
