St. Marks School Addition.

Constantly growing conditions dur
ing the past year or two in st. Mark S
parish necessitated much needed en-
largement of school accommodations,
and as it was found that the old school
building was not adequate new ten
room addition was planned to adjoin
the present structure to satisfy the
present requirements. Plans were
drawn by John H. Wheeler, st. Paul
architect, and in March this year the
construction was begun. The part of
carrying out the architectural design
was entrusted to The Paul Steenberg
Construction Co., and in September
the new school was ready for occu-
pancy.
The building which is located at
Moore and Dayton avenues, is two
story structure and is built of rein,
forced concrete throughout and cost
about 100000. The exterior is
faced with pressed brick and terra
Gotta trimming. There are five class
rooms on each of the two floors, 30x24
feet in dimensions with large cor
ridors and communicating stairways
to the different levels. On the first
floor in addition to the five class rooms
there is teachers room and separate
layatories. In planning the new ad-
dition the former wardrobes of the
old building were rearranged in order
to construct corridor connecting
both the new and the old buildings.
The new corridor floor is built with
a ramp to connect the different levels.
The main toilets are located in the
basement of the old building and have
been remodeled to give accommoda-
ton to the combined capacity of the
two buildings. There is a light and
Tentilating shaft from the basement

in the main gymnasium is IA feet high
There is a balcony and corridor on
one side with a main vestibule and
entrance to the upper parts of the
building. The balcony and corridor
form a spectators balcony. In the
basement there are also convenient
locker rooms and shower baths in
connection with the gymnasium. There
is an Office on the balcony with a
counter and wire mesh grill Enclosure.
The heating plant is also located in
the basement. The heat being sup
piled with four boilers, these boilers
being required to heat the entire new
and old buildings. There are also
spacious fuel bins and ash storage
compartments in connection. A thor
oughly equipment kitchen and cafe
terra is also located in the basement
with all necessary store rooms and
accommodations. Connecting with
the kitchen is the Sisters dining room
and also a separate dining room for
pupils. A boy scout room, 34x26 feet,
is also located in this part of the
building. The two main entrances,
one leading from the grade to the
first and second floors and the other
one on Moore street lead to the
basement direct. The building is
ventilated by means of an electrically
propeller fan, a galvanized
pipe connecting through all rooms to
the fan room in the attic, and large
ventilator in the roof. All teachers
rooms are equipped with bookcases
built in flush with the walls, and in
every instance great care has been
taken to provide for convenience of
