Additional Comments

1995- "The education building was constructed In 1930 to house what in that year were ''over 1500 entries in the education department'' that had previously been housed in the building now known as the Roqers Exhlbition Hall. Tne building is rectilinear in plan, one-story tall, has a concrete pad foundation, clapboard-clad walls, and it is sheltered by a metal-clad monitor roof whose ridgeline runs east-west. 'l'he buildlng is in largely original condition and is a contributing resource in the district."
