It has five bays at the original north front facade, with a later addition to the west. It housed elementary school grades from the time of its construction to about 1900. It housed the high school's industrial arts program from 1935 until 1965 and then served as the location of the Christina School District's administrative offices,[2] until 2009.[citation needed]
