Ernest Lawrence Elementary School

Built across the street from Neutra’s other Garden Grove school, Lawrence Elementary School faces a similar fate. It is hard to distinguish just by appearances that this campus was designed by Neutra. However, modernist touches can still be found in the brick siding, clerestory windows, and low pitched roofs with large overhangs. (2017)
