- GS 1 (1899)The auditorium is on the 2nd floor, the gym on the 3rd. Roof-playground article: Not discouraged [by the lack of use of PS 75 roof playground], I designed a second one for the roof of PS 1, at Henry and Oliver Streets, where the cost of the plot had been very great and the demand for sch accommodations so urgent th it was necessary to utilize almost the entire plot for the bldg. Again the B o E gave its approval, w the addition of a brick elevator shaft to be used in future, shd it be found wise to do so.
