by a small shed or flat roof supported by brackets with the east entrance sheltered by a flat roof on a square column. Sometime after 1948, a shed - roofed frame room, measuring 16'8" wide by 144" deep was added to the west elevation of the cafeteria wing. This room features an asphalt - shingled roof, horizontal metal sheathing, metal storm windows, and an entrance on the south elevation. It is not connected to the cafeteria wing on the interior. The interior of the school is arranged in an H- shaped plan with the auditorium in the center and classroom wings, each featuring two classrooms and a storage /bathroom space at the rear, on each side. The classrooms each open directly onto the auditorium as well as to the front and rear porches without hallways. The left (west) wing was extended to the rear in 1948 with the addition of two additional rooms, each accessed only from the exterior. The auditorium measures 37'8" wide by 22'8" deep. It features original hardwood floors, plaster walls and ceilings, and original pendant lighting. Exterior doors, as well as doors to each classroom are all five -panel doors with four -light transoms and have flat -board surrounds. Windows also have simple flat -board surrounds and aprons, but with an applied rectangular molding around the outside edge. The space has 8" baseboards with a molded shoe molding. A stage at the east end of the space measures 16'2" wide by 9'3" deep. It has a hardwood floor, two steps each on the north and south ends, and a V- groove tongue -and- groove apron. The stage is framed by square columns that support a beam that extends the full width of the room. Temporary steps are located at the front (west) end and temporary bookshelves lining the front of the stage separate a small office from the remainder of the space. A chimney centered on the west wall protrudes slightly into the space. Each classroom measures 34'6" wide by 21'10" deep and has hardwood floors, plaster walls and ceilings, and door trim, window trim, and baseboards matching those of the auditorium. Most doors, with the exception of the exterior doors, are modern replacements and there is picture molding on some walls of the classrooms, but not throughout. The southeast classroom is slightly smaller than the others, as approximately 8' on the north end of the classroom was constructed as a teacher's office, accessible from the northeast classroom. The southeast classroom also has a replacement hollow -core door, but retains the historic transom. A restroom with partial- height, drywall walls, modern Dutch door, and modern molded trim has been added to the northeast corner of this classroom. The northeast classroom has a modern Dutch door, a door opening with transom to the teacher's office, now a storage area, and a double -wide door opening at the northwest corner that opens to a small storage space with a door to the exterior. To the east of the storage space, along a narrow hallway, are two small bathrooms. The southwest classroom features a door on the north wall that opens to a later bathroom, as well as a later door that opens to the northwest classroom. It has been modified slightly with the addition of a bathroom at the southeast corner (accessible from the southwest classroom) and storage along the north wall. The bathroom and storage both have partial- height drywall walls and modern doors and trim. The storage area on the north wall has been converted to a kitchen with vinyl flooring. At the left rear (northwest), a 1948 cafeteria addition features concrete floors, painted brick walls, and a plaster ceiling in the south room. This room has exterior entrances at the northwest and southeast corners, each a five -panel wood door. A small "window" opening on the north elevation opens to the north room, and a hollow -care door in the center of the north wall connects the spaces. The north room has been divided with a hallway running north - south through the space and small rooms off of that corridor. The spaces all have concrete floors, drywall- covered exterior and partition walls, and dropped acoustic -tiled ceilings. Trim
