   A new Francis Scott Key Elementary School was built here with Public Works Administration funding after the 1933 school bond, replacing a school two blocks away that had been judged a fire risk. Edward Eames, William Mooser and Douglas D. Stone designed it in concrete and terra cotta in the PWA Moderne style: academic building 1936, kindergarten wing 1939, auditorium 1940.

1 nominal $1 street-space or sidewalk permit is omitted from the timeline. The assessor dates the building to 1900; Planning's historic resource survey records 1935. The city dates the school's buildings differently in two of its own statements: the statement on modernistic styles gives 1938, while the New Deal statement has the academic building in 1936, the kindergarten wing in 1939 and the auditorium in 1940. The assessor's roll gives 1935.
