Exhibition '1912 Classroom' in Archives and Museum
This classroom was part of a 4-room addition to McKay Avenue School in 1912, and is approximately 25% larger than contemporary classrooms. The room is 26’ x 34’ with 13’ ceilings to allow for maximum air circulation. Large windows were included to allow for ample natural light, which was supplemented by four 60 watt drop incandescent lights. The blackboards are original ½” slate.
