Schools Kindergarten Annex (1950)

Built in 1950 across from the Edison Elementary School on the site of the old Harding School building, the annex was an award-winning design that incorporated furniture and facilities that were built to the needs of the kindergarten student. Door handles were lower, furniture was smaller, lockers were kid-sized, etc. It also had a fully equipped kitchen, and everything was done in "cheerful" colors and styles that were attractive to kids of this age. All of the photos below were from a feature story in Ohio Schools magazine, and were also part of a photo spread in the Columbus Citizen Journal.
