Summary:
Includes exterior and
interior views of the senior high school, housing, and various community
buildings, designed by architects Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, for employees
of the U.S. government's atomic-bomb research project in Oak Ridge (Tenn.).
Exterior views of the high school show a long, low-rise, brick building with
ribbon windows. Some exteriors show a glazed passageway that steps down a hill
from the main building to a wing that appears to include a gymnasium,
industrial-arts shops, service and utility facilities. Other views include the
shop/service wing with parking lot, canopy slabs that project on slender steel
columns from the main and rear entrances, and the main building lit from within
at night. Interior views of the high school include a gymnasium with movable
wood bleachers and partitions, exposed steel beams and trusses, and drop-down
basketball hoops.
Other interiors show classrooms, the library, science
laboratories, and a woodworking shop. Interiors also include stairwells with
flying stairs, corridors lined with lockers, exhibit cases, locker rooms, and
the auditorium (whose air diffusers are prominent in some views). Other
interiors include communal showers, restroom stalls, and electric service
boxes. Students and/or teachers are present in many views of the high school.
Exterior views of housing show a range of single-family and multiple dwellings
of masonry or wood-frame construction. Views include a hillside with a series
of concrete-block, flat-roofed, three-story apartment buildings with covered
exterior stairways; some night views show these buildings lit from within and-
frame townhouses, and concrete-block-and-frame, split-level houses on a
hillside.
Other views include two-story brick-flat-roofed apartment
buildings whose second floors, with vertical wood siding, cantilever out over
carports. Other housing includes ranch-style, wood-and- stucco-sided bungalows,
some with L-shaped plans, situated on circular or otherwise winding streets.
Residential interiors show living rooms (some with outdoor balconies),
bedrooms, and kitchens. Views of other community buildings include exteriors of
the wood-and-stucco-sided, split-level Oak Ridge Public Library and another
municipal building, also one-story and sided in wood and stucco, with a
circular driveway. Another view shows a one-story shopping center, with U-shaped
clusters of colonnaded stores fronting on parking lots. Other exteriors include
the low-rise elementary school, with some views showing the school's sitting in
the midst of a housing development.
Interior views of the elementary school include classrooms
and an auditorium, with students and teachers present in some views. Another
interior view shows a room of medical equipment, which might be a clinic in one
of the schools. For similar or related images see HB-13984, HB-08878, and
HB-09644.
