TileVault: Piedmont High School

4-23-08-tile3.jpg

  • What: Mosaic in the hallway, maybe an old drinking fountain decorative alcove???
  • Where: Piedmont High School, Piedmont
  • When: Tuesday, April 22, 8:15pm
  • Why: Stumbling around the hallways waiting for our German class to begin, this caught our attention. We were surprised to see a hand-painted, colorful mosaic in the hallways of a public school...sort of reminded us of our fluorescent-lit hallways days, only much nicer....

    Wow. So scary - I went to Piedmont High! I know they did a lot of refurbbing and rebuilding after I graduated, though. Nice to see they kept the tiles. And the orange lockers are still the same! What building is this? Is this an upper hallway adjacent to the library?

    Did it use to be a drinking water fountain?

    From the looks of the area around the plumbing, it does indeed look like a fountain once was mounted there.

    Nice tilework BTW.
