William Frantz Elementary School
William Frantz Elementary School, Elementary school building in St. Claude neighborhood, New Orleans, United States.
The two-story Art Deco structure at 3811 North Galvez Street features defined geometric patterns and symmetrical architectural elements from its 1937 construction.
On November 14, 1960, six-year-old Ruby Bridges entered William Frantz Elementary School as the first African-American student, escorted by United States Marshals.
Norman Rockwell immortalized Ruby Bridges' first day at William Frantz Elementary School in his painting 'The Problem We All Live With'.
Visitors can schedule guided tours of the National Register of Historic Places site, including Room 2306, which maintains its original 1960s configuration.
The ground floor rehabilitation after Hurricane Katrina required a $23.5 million investment to restore the building's educational and historical functions.
