Description
This westerly view of McKinley Boulevard and, to the right, Theodore Judah School was taken on January 16, 1941, from the street’s intersection with San Antonio Way. The school, located at 3919 McKinley Boulevard, was built in 1939, and then added to the National Registry of Historic Places in 1997, primarily via its architectural prowess, being done in a “Streamline Moderne” Art Deco style. Its construction was funded by the Depression-era’s Works Progress Administration and its architect was Charles F. Dean, who also designed the Byzantine-style Memorial Auditorium. Prior to that and starting in 1927, the school used a two room bungalow for its classes. The school was named for the man who mapped the first transcontinental rail route through the Sierra Nevada mountain range.
