CONSTRUCTION AND RENOVATION
Initial Construction: 1906
Renovation: Over the last century, the building has gone under a number of reconstructions
during the years of 1912, 1925, and again in 1967, however the building itself has never been
fully demolished (Site File at Historical Society). This offers the threat of potentially mobilizing
lead based materials such as paint and plumbing fixtures across the property.
BUILDING MATERIALS
Although the structure of Randall Elementary is primarily brick, it is still likely that paint used
on the interior walls and window sills of the building were painted with lead based paints during
first construction. This is a risk due to the number of wall tear downs and building extensions
that occurred during the first half of the 20th century. Lead concentrations are typically highest
within 3 feet of the building, known as the drip zone, however, due to the extensive
construction that has taken place on this site, lead paint chips may have been dispersed
throughout the property. To date, there is no record of soil testing for lead contaminants.
