Description

Photograph of the Lily B. Clayton Elementary School located at 2000 Park Place Avenue in Fort Worth. The school is made out of different colored bricks stacked in a staggered pattern. A wide staircase leads up to the entrance. The steps are made of concrete, and the handrails are a continuation of the staircase's support walls, and are made of the same brick from the rest of the building. There is a small arched door leading to underneath the stairs. It is on the left side of the staircase. The double doors into the school are wooden and each have twelve rectangular windows on the top 2/3. Six square windows run along the top of the doorframe. The actual doorway is framed by two columns that connect to an ornate shelf above the school's name. The columns are Grecian inspired. Above the shelf, a window with nine panes sits in a Grecian window frame with a triangular "roof line" above it. The actual roof of the school is made with Spanish roof tiles, creating a wavy pattern along its edge. To the left of the photo, there are more windows into the school, one of which is arched. A large, mature tree takes up the left 1/3 of the photo, and another one is seen on the right.
