I've never attended a pink-colored school...then again, I didn't grow up in an area that had such a Spanish influence. And there certainly weren't palm trees.

Obviously, I had a deprived childhood.

Pink or thar faded orange which appears pink after much time or even purple Is common.the royal viking inn was the same color.I think for spanish revival that works.green,red,or purple ,orange as well.white is also used.which would have worked.yellow can as well.

I think it's unique to my county.ft pierce has some but not as much.

Every so often, one can see a house that's painted purple .... even black. In the Champaign-Urbana area, there were several homes painted orange & blue, the University of Illinois colors. But all of those are exceptions to the norm.

Current plaque,it was white.so it's been painted. Edifice was built at the time of county split. Makes sense old map shows it then 1926https://m.facebook.com/home.php#!/photos/viewer/?photoset_token=pcb.1031088750263337&photo=10153861075407976&profileid=1586342213&source=48&refid=7

I can understand the building originally being white, with color being used later on during the years.

The link didn't work, I'm sorry to say

NOTE the cross, spanish missionary revival but it was never a church.this is now a post office parking lot.it faces the diesel plant

From the plaque.I didn't take this but I'm crediting the man Bob craig.I should have.I have walked up to this last time to read it while reading the flc route.before it was a fountain that worked with the last graduatin class of 64.then also a smaller plaque like this but in poor shape. That was at a different spot.View attachment 8394

Gifford high school needs more then just one as its a testimony to the segregation days and later it was integrated.I went to it as gifford middle 7. It's now gifford middle school.I have posted images of that.it's gym was identical to the old vero beach high school.it was built in the 50s.I think I see it in the 57 topo.

 

[AirDancer]

When it was Gifford Middle 7 ... was that just for 7th graders?

1970 to I think mid 90s,I went there when it was middle 7.middle 6 was north of that and is gone.my elementary school, dodgertown, is still there. I'm my day it was named after the man clemmans. The 43rd ave still bears that name.
