Coronado School, Elementary school building in Barelas, Albuquerque, United States.
Coronado School is an elementary school building in Albuquerque that was originally constructed with local design elements and later expanded with modern facilities including a gymnasium, cafeteria, and media center. The structure sits on about 2 acres at 601 4th Street Southwest and blends historic original features with contemporary educational spaces.
The school building was constructed between 1936 and 1937 through a federal public employment program created during the economic crisis. The substantial investment then demonstrates significant government support for educational facilities during that difficult period.
The building displays Territorial-style architectural features that reflect local construction traditions still visible in the region today.
Following extensive renovation work in the early 2000s, the school building was modernized and equipped with current safety standards. Visitors should keep in mind that the campus is accessible during school operations and visitors should follow school guidelines.
This school building ranks among the three oldest still-operating elementary schools in the city and was added to the national registry in 1996. The recognition honors its importance as a testimony to the educational architecture of that era.
