“P.S. 200 — 1952”
NYC records give P.S. 200-Q a 1953 built date; today's Q200 is still at 70-10 164 Street.
Joseph's list dates P.S. 200 to 1952; city records say the Queens school was built in 1953. That one-year offset is exactly what a masonry job should look like in the record—the brick-and-block work happening before the children arrived.
What Kelly did here
Family source
Probable
Likely: most likely CMU/concrete-block classroom, corridor, service and fire-rated walls, with exterior brick/block wall systems where the school/library used masonry cladding.
This scope is recorded as probable, not documented. It is a disciplined reading of the building and the trade practice of the period, not a contract-level record of Kelly’s work.
The construction team
The construction team for this job has not yet been established.
What happened to it
Still standing / active school
P.S./M.S. 200 remains an active NYC public school at the original 70-10 164 Street site.
