An addition

This is part of an addition to the school in which I used to teach English literature and writing. Look closely and you'll see the art gallery on the first floor with part of the library above it.

Today in MN History: 1992- Jackpot Junction Casino, the first Indian casino in Minnesota, celebrates its anniversary (November 16–18). Originally a bingo parlor, by 1988 it had become a fully operational casino. (Historical information: mnhs.org)

  8. Hi Kate, I've been swamped and haven't gotten around lately. I really enjoyed your series on F Scott Fitzgerald. This addition to the school looks like the library and gallery get lots of good natural lighting which must be nice.

  10. I'm going to remember Irrdento's phrase, "A school with transparent walls", it's such a nice idea. Schools sometime can seem so musty - but not this one. From the inside, one sees out into the world and from the outside one feels welcomed into the school. The designer did a nice thing here for both the school and the community.
