Show NPS Form 10-9oo·a Utah MSIM:m:f 4.0 (Mac) Format (Revised Nov. 1995) OMB Approval No. 10024-0018 United States Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet Section number_7_ Page_1_ Crescent Elementary School, Sandy, Salt Lake County, UT containing wire-reinforced glass. On the east elevation is the main entrance to the auditorium; the double doors and rectangular transom are surrounded by a decorative cast concrete, above which is a pair of small steel casement windows framed with cast concrete trim. At the top of these windows, nearly parallel with their lintels, is a decorative concrete band which runs the circumference of the exterior of the auditorium. This narrow concrete band is at the same height as the concrete parapet caps on the classroom section to the immediate south; the band visually unifies the two parts of the building. On entering the east door there is an office to the left; on the right are stairs leading to the balcony and basement. Directly ahead is the stage; next to which is the entrance into the main hall which leads to the classrooms and offices. The west elevation of the auditorium is a solid wall with no windows or doors. The main entrance to the classrooms is on the east elevation; above the double doors is a semi-circular transom, all of which is surrounded by a decorative cast concrete trim. The flat concrete lintel above the transom has a cast geometric pattern which is repeated several times; this same pattern is also cast into the concrete parapet caps on top of the decorative 'engaged' pie~; that are on the exterior walls of the buildings. Each of the four classrooms has one~very large window which is comprised of four equally divided vertical sections. Each of the four window sections has five horizontal steel awning windows. In 1954 an addition was constructed on to the south elevation of the school. The addition consists of two sections, the first extends from the classroom wing south; the second is perpendicular to this and parallel to the auditorium. The layout of the school resembles a 'J'. On the east elevation the addition is sensitive to the older building; it is built of similar size brick, but different colors. The sections of the addition are progressively lower in height, and do not overwhelm the older building; and the proportions of the window openings are similar. The south elevation of the addition displays more of its 1950s heritage; the steel awning windows are larger as are the overall window proportions. The classrooms run in row along the north side of the addition; the hallway is on the south side. There are three sets of horizontal clerestory windows above the classroom spaces; this section is slightly higher than the hallway; both have a flat roof. The north side of these classrooms have the same type of awning windows as on the south side; however, the rough openings are larger so there are more windows. o /81 See continuation sheet(s) for Section NO.7 |
