Americanization School
The Americanization School in Oceanside, California, built in 1931,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Oceanside History Timeline )〕 was intended as an assimilation school where Spanish-speaking Oceanside residents would be taught English and civics.〔 Historically, it reflects a time before the rise of multiculturalism where immigrants who arrived in the United States were more actively Americanized in assimilation programs.〔
The building, now known as the Crown Heights Resource Center, was designed by Irving Gill. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.〔 The school was one of the last works by Gill, a pioneer of modern architecture and one of nearby San Diego's most noted architects.〔Dirk Sutro, (Oceanside's Treasure-Trove of Gill Buildings ), ''Los Angeles Times'', October 22, 1992, Accessed November 4, 2010.〕
==Building design==
Late in his career, Gill had been taking fewer and smaller projects. Several were in Oceanside, where he continued to try to develop his work. The Americanization school displays hints of Art Deco while also taking in North African–Islamic influences that he picked up from his brief partnership with Frank Mead, another San Diego architect.〔 Gill designed the wood-frame and stucco structure to fit its triangular, wedge-shaped corner site. With a prominent corner, Gill placed an arched entryway with a minimalist Islamic-style dome atop a short, octagonal tower. For class space, Gill planned two wings to run back from the corner, along the length of the lot in a V-shape; however, only one was ever built. To break up a potentially monotonous wall, he stepped the classes into three sections along the edge of the property. To bring in natural light, he placed clerestory windows and French doors to the south-facing side.〔
