CULTURAL RESOURCES SURVEY REPORT 4400 Black Ave 18 feet; it fills part of the angle between the two larger blocks. The “walled garden” fills the angle between the two smaller blocks. To reach the recessed main entrance one must walk through the walled garden. Figure 11: Building plan drawn by William Kostura The building is one story in height and is most likely wood-framed in construction. An original plan at the City of Pleasanton offices, dated 1971, states that the proposed building is to have “Construction Type V,” which means wood-framed, and that it is to have “one hour fire resistance.” A 1971 memorandum at the City states that the building is to be 24,000 square feet in area, which is only slightly greater than the sum of the estimated areas of the three blocks described above. The roof of the building is flat, except at the perimeter, where the roof slopes at moderate pitch and is covered with Spanish-style clay tiles. Sheet metal gutters run the perimeter at the lowest course of tiles. Here, the roof forms an overhang of about six feet beyond the exterior walls. The soffit of this overhang is layered, being white plaster at the lower level and either wood or sheet metal above, with a wooden frieze between them. The exterior walls are made primarily of two materials. Most of the wall area is devoted to boards of brown-painted wood or plywood laid diagonally. The balance of the wall area is of white plaster. The wooden and plaster areas vary greatly in size and are arranged irregularly, without much apparent pattern. Flat boards, painted dark brown, trim these wooden and plaster areas at their sides, tops, and bases.
