Joseph Estabrook School: Historic Structure Report Plan, Room Use and Changes Over Time 40 <br />Rooms 1 -4 <br />Four conventionally sized classrooms, of 900 square feet in size. These rooms housed first and <br />second graders of the Phi team originally. Rooms 1 and 2 have been used for Kindergarten <br />classes since 1967, when the Kindergarten program began in Lexington. <br />Room 7 <br />A large, high- ceilinged room in the cellar, the room has been used for most of its life as a storage <br />area. The room was originally intended to become a complete television studio, but the studio <br />was never created. According to Susan Ward, music lessons were also held in the storage room. <br />In addition, the room was built to serve as a bomb shelter, if needed. In 2012, the room still <br />contains large metal drums of drinking water, labeled Department of Defense, along one wall. <br />Other survival materials remain as well. Bruce Ward had a summer job about 1970 stocking the <br />fallout shelters in Lexington. The crew worked at Estabrook for three weeks "because the water <br />tanks could only be filled at a rate that the filters could handle, so filling them all took <br />forever.i91 Bomb shelters are believed to exist at the high school, Diamond Junior High School, <br />Harrington School, and very likely other schools. <br />Bomb shelter supplies still kept in the storage room in 2012. <br />Outside the storage room, a door leads to a stair well for access to the outside of the building by <br />the west patio. <br />91 Susan Ward, personal communication, June 6, 2012. <br />Anne Andrus Grady June 2012 <br />
