Photo code #2: K-14/10,13 "The present school consists of three additions to an 1898 building once fronting on Fulton Street but now demolished. Of the additions, the oldest, by local architects Oppenhamer and Obel, is the most distinctive. The facade of this three-story building facing Seventh Street displays geometrics motifs typical of the Art Moderne style popular in the 1930s. These motifs also decorate the complementary 1951 addition which includes the auditorium sitting parallel to Hamilton Street."
