Regarding Casa Grande Union High School "Old Main". Excerpt from the National Register nomination:
Built in 1920-1921 at a cost of $135,000, the Casa Grande Union High School main building is a good example of a Spanish Colonial Revival public building. The school, built in response to the growing student population of Casa Grande, was complete with indoor swimming pool and auditorium.
