It is also significant under Criterion C in Architecture as an excellent, skillfully executed example of Classicized Moderne design in a public building, distinctive among the city's schools. The exterior is said to retain full integrity.","narrative":"C.K. McClatchy Senior High School occupies a long, two-story building on Freeport Boulevard in Sacramento, surrounded by older residential neighborhoods. Designed by the local firm Starks and Flanders beginning in 1933 and built between 1936 and 1938, it is reinforced concrete clad in stucco with a low hipped tile roof. Its facade groups windows in threes and combines Moderne simplicity with stylized Classical details such as reeded columns, dentil courses, relief panels and plaster lions at the entry. Behind the main block are courtyards, a gymnasium and an industrial arts building. Funded partly by the Public Works Administration, a New Deal program, it was one of three PWA-built schools in the city and was needed because Sacramento High School had been the only high school until the 1930s. It was listed for its architecture and for its link to New Deal public works. The school still operates, and its exterior remains largely unchanged.","period_of_significance":"1937-1938","architect_builder":"Starks, Leonard and Flanders, Edward (Starks and Flanders); construction by K.
