This two- and three-story, L-plan, limestone-faced building contains the administrative offices for the Museum of Fine Arts and the Glassell children's art school. Jiménez combined these unlike programs in a reserved and urbane building. Like the Glassell School across the street, Jiménez's building reinforces the urban potential of Montrose Boulevard by channeling urban space along its length.
