Rear elevation seen from the school yard. The stairs in the front of the boats lead to a large outdoor terrace with access into the school's former kindergarten.

Gypsum block walls on the first floor have collapsed due to water infiltration, revealing the concrete frame.

The second floor library is 8' longer than a typical classroom, and features roll-up wood cabinets. Woodwork and walls have been painted over and tagged, but are otherwise in fairly good condition in August 2023.
