Posted by JRGordon | February 4, 2010, 3:26 pmWell, phooey! I thought this one would stump everyone! Congrats!
Posted by ELMalvaney | February 4, 2010, 3:57 pmAAARRRGGGHHH!!! Did it send me to spam again?
Posted by Carunzel | February 4, 2010, 3:27 pmYes, it did–I don’t know why it’s doing this, but it’s starting to annoy me. You even used your e-mail the first time, so to be fair, I think both you and JR get a point.
Posted by ELMalvaney | February 4, 2010, 4:00 pmYou are too kind, sir!
Posted by Carunzel | February 4, 2010, 4:15 pmmaybe it doesn’t like the rainy day?
I’m willing to share with Carunzel for credit on this.
Posted by JRGordon | February 4, 2010, 4:34 pmIt hasn’t that excuse for yesterday.
And thanks to you, too!
Posted by Carunzel | February 4, 2010, 4:57 pmI know it won’t count for any points, but I am going to guess that N. W. Overstreet designed Brookhaven Elementary; the massing of Brookhaven seems similar to Bailey, although they are very different structures.
Posted by W. White | February 4, 2010, 4:11 pmFor some reason I was thinking R.W. Naef, he of “smutty buff brick” and kind face, but now that I come to put my hands on that information, I can’t find it. I do know Naef did the 1937 Brookhaven High School, so possibly also did this 1941 beauty. I’m going to have to track that down now, because I know at some point I took a picture of the plaque inside this building.
You’re right that it’s the same shape as Bailey, with the auditorium projecting at the far end, but I believe the auditorium was added around 1950.
