Features to be noted are the wrought iron window grilles, the hardware on the large door openings, and the arcade on the south façade that has been carefully balanced with its roof mass. It was designated a City Landmark on September 2, 1998.
ChaPtEr 2: hiSPaniC arChitECturE anD ExamPlES Santa Barbara High School, 700 East Anapamu Street, 1923-1924 (architects Roland Sauter, Keith Lockard, and William H. Weeks) 2. santa Barbara High school 1923-1924 700 East Anapamu Street Roland Sauter, Keith Lockard, and William H. Weeks City of Santa BarBara Constructed in 1923-1924, the main building has a central block, is two stories in height, has symmetrically placed one-story wings, and is in the classical Palladian tradition. The style is Spanish Eclectic, a freer expression of the Spanish Colonial Revival style found throughout Santa Barbara. David Gebhard described the building as having an “ultra-Baroque façade with polychromed terra-cotta decoration.” Highly ornate terra-cotta work is used sparingly on the building and is placed in the areas where it provides the most visual impact, mainly around entrances. Stabilization pins are noticeable on the terra-cotta panels but do not detract from the effect of the overall design. These pins are necessary to secure the terra-cotta work in the event of an earthquake. The school building has survived earthquakes and is one of the oldest public schools in the city. It was threatened in the late 1960s when consideration was given to tearing down the main school building because it was feared that it would not be safe during an earthquake. At the urging of the Santa Barbara High School Alumni Association, tests were conducted which concluded that the building could be preserved with some retrofit measures, which were completed in the early 1970s. The school campus has had numerous alterations over the past 85 years, but the quality of the architecture of the main building is still predominant. It was designated a City Landmark on November 8, 2005. El PuEBlo ViEjo DESign guiDElinES 35
