The third block, where the <br />main entrance is located, measures roughly 51 feet by 63 feet; it fills part of <br />the angle between the two larger blocks. The “walled garden” fills the angle <br />between the two smaller blocks. To reach the recessed main entrance one must walk <br />through the walled garden. <br /> Building plan drawn by William Kostura <br />The building is one story in height and is most likely wood-framed in <br />construction. An original plan at the City of Pleasanton offices, dated 1971, <br />states that the proposed building is to have “Construction Type V,” which means <br />wood-framed, and that it is to have “one hour fire resistance.” A 1971 memorandum <br />at the City states that the building is to be 24,000 square feet in area, which <br />is only slightly greater than the sum of the estimated areas of the three blocks <br />described above. <br />The roof of the building is flat, except at the perimeter, where the roof slopes <br />at moderate pitch and is covered with Spanish-style clay tiles. Sheet metal <br />gutters run the perimeter at the lowest course of tiles. Here, the roof forms an <br />overhang of about six feet beyond the exterior walls. The soffit of this overhang <br />is layered, being white plaster at the lower level and either wood or sheet metal <br />above, with a wooden frieze between them. <br />The exterior walls are made primarily of two materials. Most of the wall area is <br />devoted to boards of brown-painted wood or plywood laid diagonally. The balance <br />of the wall area is of white plaster. The wooden and plaster areas vary greatly
