| 44.Description of Resource |
TWO STORY BUFF BRICK CLAD WPA STYLE BUILDING. IT SPANS THE LENGTH OF A BLOCK AND CONSISTS OF THREE PARTS: A MAIN ENTRANCE, GYMNASIUM, AND AUDITORIUM. THE MAIN ENTRANCE IS MARKED BY BRICKWORK THAT IS RAISED IN ORDER TO CREATE THE APPERANCE OF PILASTERS. THE PILASTERS ARE DECORATED WITH THREE STRIPES OF DARKER COLORED SOLDIER BRICKS. THE DOORS ARE SLIGHTLY RECESSED AND SET BENETH A SEMICIRCULAR METAL AWNING. THE FACADES OF THE GYMNASIUM AND AUDITORIUM ARE SIMILAR TO ONE ANOTHER AND HAVE PROMINENT STEPPED PARAPETS. DECORATIVE BRICK WORK CREATES THE IMPRESSION THAT THERE ARE FOUR PILASTERS. EACH OF THE PILASTERS HAS A CONCRETE CAP AND ALTERNATING BANDS OF LIGHT AND DARK COLORED BRICK. WINDOWS FILL THE WALL SPACE BETWEEN THE PILASTERS ON THE SECON FLOOR ON THE GYM, HOWEVER THIS IS NOT THE CASE ON THE AUDITORIUM. INSTEAD ONLY A SMALL WPA PLAQUE OCCUPIES ONE OF THE SPACES. THIS BUILDING WAS COMPLETED AS PWA PROJECT #8453. |
