permanent classrooms, one art room, a kindergarten room,and a library,
and could accommodate an enrollment of 700 students. The school
replaced frame buildings on the site. The land for the school had been
give to the district by Amon G. Carter and his children, Amon G.
Carter, Jr., and Mrs. J. Lee Johnson (Mrs. Ruth Carter Stevenson).
Robert P. Woltz, Jr. was the architect and Cain and Cain was the
general contractor. The 1- and 2-story structure is constructed of
orange and polychrome yellow brick with cast piers used between blocks
of windows. Most window openings have been partially infilled with
panels. Renovations completed in 2001 included a new library, an
expanded cafeteria and kitchen, 12 classrooms, and new office.
Upon the attainment of 50 years of age and with further assessment of
its integrity, the building will be potentially eligible for the
National Register for its association with public education in Fort
Worth and its architectural significance.
