History edit
El Dorado Elementary School is a two-story, brick, U-shaped structure. It was enlarged in 1922, by adding four classrooms to each wing. At a later, unknown date, the open court between the two wings was roofed over to provide a covered play area.[2]
The state commission considered demolishing the El Dorado Elementary School building in 1976 due to concerns about earthquake safety,[4] but chose to retain it.[5]
