About this property

El Dorado Elementary School, now known as Stockton School for Adults, is a public school building in Stockton, California. Built in 1916, the building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1977. It was designated a Stockton Historic Landmark by resolution number 34,306 on July 11, 1977. El Dorado Elementary School is a two-story, brick, U-shaped structure. It was enlarged in 1922, by adding four classrooms to each wing. At a later, unknown date, the open court between the two wings was roofed over to provide a covered play area. The state commission considered demolishing the El Dorado Elementary School building in 1976 due to concerns about earthquake safety, but chose to retain it.
