Crocker Public School

Designed by Starks & Flanders in 1929, this elementary and middle school was fashioned in the many styles popular of the time including Italian Medieval architecture with details reminiscent of the Arts and Crafts movement. Construction was completed in 1932.

Much of the campus was demolished in 1975 due to not meeting earthquake safety standards, although the main building still exists.

On the same site today sits a new school named California Middle School which is part of the Sacramento City Unified School District.
