Erected 1910 - Dismantled 1933

The Union High School was erected by W.J. Ochs according to the plans of J.W. Dolliver, the San Francisco architect in charge of the work. Mr. Ochs' winning bid for the school contact was $19,650.00.
Official Opening of the Union High School was on January 19, 1911.
The following paragraph is taken from the Coalinga Oil Record, 1911.
"The building is equipped with all the appliances including the lifting top desks, the reading table, the bookkeeping tables, the chemistry tables in the way of furniture; the heating apparatus and fan, the statuary; Thorwaldsen's "Triumph of Alexander" in the assembly hall; bust of "Julius Caesar" in room "B", of "Homer" in room "C", of "Agassiz" and Wagner in room "D", copy of Holman Hunt's "Flight of Night" in the office and Chaplin's beautiful "Joan of Arc" in the hallway."

Style of architecture is adapted from Spanish Mission type and answers demands of local climate.
