Aerial view of Lincoln High School, with buildings and an earthquake fault marked.
The school was partially closed to students after engineers reported many of
the buildings were in danger of sliding down the hill toward North Broadway because of
shifting ground of the hill. Tents were setup on the front lawn for classrooms.
They did a little work at a time to correct all the damages that were done to the
school, and let the students back in to the school, a few at a time, over a period of
about a year.
The engineers and geologists reported three of the buildings
are in danger of collapsing down the hill upon other structures. The auditorium, music and
library buildings will be torn down. The English building has been cracked from the weight
of holding up the library with braced steel and concrete supports.
The English, administration, and gymnasium buildings will be repaired.
Other buildings will be used temporarily.
