Historical Data	Harding Elementary School was built in the early 1900s on four acres of land that James G. Bell donated, accommodating 20 students of all grades. In 1911, a 2-story brick building was constructed and enrollment for Harding Elementary grew to 102 students. In 1913, the name was changed to Bell Grammar School, and in 1923, it was changed again to Bell Grammar #1 because there were three other schools in the Bell area by that time. The school entered the L.A. Unified School District in 1926, and it underwent a name change once again, becoming Corona Avenue Elementary. By 1934, student enrollment was at 651, with 21 teachers on staff. This same year, famed architect Richard Neutra helped transform Corona into an "experimental" school. His design consisted of huge sliding glass patio walls, which opened the entire side of the room directly to the outside; because of Mr. Neutra's works, the school has since become an historical landmark. Corona Avenue Elementary School is located at 3825 Bell Avenue, the school currently serves 1,277 students, grades K-5.
Description	View is looking inside the classroom at Corona Avenue School, located at 3825 Bell Avenue, in the city of Bell. A teacher stands at the front of the class, as children read their textbooks. It appears that each classroom has an industrial-looking open floor plan, with large sliding doors that lead to the patio area.
