South elevation, with kindergarten bay window visible on the right side.
North elevation viewed from the school's asphalt track. The blank facade on the right of the image is where a 1973 addition once connected to the original building. The addition was demolished in 1991 or 92, according to Sanborn maps.
Monnier's original building included 28 rooms and a large gym/auditorium.
The main school entrance, as well as the entrance to the gym/auditorium, is located on a single-loaded corridor which extends toward Ward St. on the west side of the building.
The gym/auditorium area features unique raised bleachers on three sides of the space, and large arched windows, suggesting a small stadium or arena.
