Albert S. Brandeis Elementary School is a former elementary school in Louisville, Kentucky that began operation in 1913. It is listed as a historic building with the National Register of Historic Places. It was patterned after the Charlton House in England. It was designed by J. Earl Henry, the renowned early 20th century Louisville architect. The historic building is located at 1001 South 26th Street. The school itself operates at 2817 W. Kentucky St. in a modern facility. It became a math/science/technology magnet school in fall 1990. It was Louisville's first magnet program in an elementary school. ==Design== The original school building occupies a city block between the Parkland and California neighborhoods. It is built of brick and has 2½ stories as well as a raised basement. The windows on the first and second floor are identical. A decorative gabled entrance spans the height of the building and includes a decorative scroll which reads "L.P.S." for Louisville Public School (the predecessor of Jefferson County Public Schools). The building is designed in the Tudor Revival architecture style, although the entrance includes Gothic elements. Architect J. Henry Earl was heavily influenced by Robert Smythson, especially his designs for Wardour Castle and Charlton House.〔 A modestly styled addition was added to the back of the building in 1954. The elaborate original windows were replaced in 1962 steel frame vent windows.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Albert S. Brandeis Elementary School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
