Short history behind the 1933 building addition of the old Oak Hill School.

Oak Hill School got its second school building as enrollment expanded in 1933. The 1933 eastern addition was constructed during the Great Depression through work relief efforts. It was constructed out of stone masonry.  This small building addition served as an art room. It was also used for the cafeteria. There were restrooms installed for this building. The land for the former school was donated by James Andrew Patton. In December of 1993, the old Oak Hill School received city designation as an Austin Landmark and the property was zoned GR-CO.
