"University Heights Junior High School is located at 2060 University Avenue between Kansas and Douglass Avenues. The property is comprised of the main school building and a vocational education building which were designed by architect John C. Austin of the Los Angeles firm of Austin & Ashley. The two buildings are set back from the street in an expanse of lawn with mature trees in the northern third of the original fifteen-acre, three-block site. The main school building to the west is an elegant Spanish colonial Revival style, cross-shaped, two-story poured-in-place concrete, tile- roofed structure, on a raised basement which is approached by a wide ceremonial sidewalk on either side of a formal rose garden. The vocational educational building to the east is an unembellished single story, rectangular shaped, poured-in-place concrete, shallow roofed, industrial building at the rear of a tree-shaded parking lot. The buildings were constructed by Cresmer Manufacturing Company with H.G. Lehrabach serving as consulting engineer." (visit link)
