In 1878 , the plant was extended across Lincoln Park ( Los Angeles ) Avenue , which is now the current site . In 1881 , the school added a gymnasium ; forty-three years later , in 1924 , a science building was added . The present school was built extensively in the 1940s under President Franklin D. Roosevelt under his Works Progress Administration reform . Much of the construction and renovations occurred after the 1933 Long Beach earthquake , which damaged the gymnasium , the auditorium , the music building , the library , and the English building . Jim Tunney Stadium , home to Lincoln 's football and track teams , was built during the reconstruction of Lincoln High School
