This 10,000 s.f. building was a senior citizen
center prior to the remodeling for the Temple Housing Authority
into a day care center.
The original building was built in the 1950’s and added
onto in the 1970’s. This remodel called for all of the interior
walls of the building to be demolished, save a large, stone fireplace
and chimney that was a central focus of the building. The fireplace
was retained to create a storytelling area for children. Eight
classrooms with central kitchen, staff offices, and a separate
office area for the Housing Authority program was included as
well as an outdoor play area. |
