Buell designed the Paramount Theater and original Cherry Creek mail among other notable Denver buildings. Buell designed the Fruitdale School after the original school, constructed in 1883, was destroyed by a fire in 1926. The Fruitdale School building is representative of Temple Buell's early work in the Denver ar where he designed several school buildings after Fruitdale. Elements of the building such as 5 the decorative brickwork are typical of Buell's work. The original 1927 structure is a distinctiv red brick, two-story building. 11 The building, originally part of the Jefferson County School District, remained in use as an elementary school until 1978. The building was then used as a Jefferson County School District preschool until 2007 when the new Norma Anderson Preschool was opened adjacent to Fruitdale.
