Title	Coloma School
Date	1934
Creator	Frederick-Burkett Foto Service
Description	This 1934 photograph shows the Coloma School at 4623 T Street. In the foreground, children sit on the steps that lead up to the school’s southwestern entrance. T Street runs before them. Originally known as Elmhurst School, the Byzantine-style structure was built in 1921 for 209,000 dollars. Its construction was part of a veritable education boom, whereby, between 1920 and 1923, the Sacramento City Schools added twelve new schools to the district. Coloma was closed in 1972 as it was deemed to be earthquake unsafe. It then became a community center in the early 1980s.
