    Greenbriar Elementary School was designed by Wilson, Patterson, Sowden, Dunlap and Epperly and erected by Holden and Otis, contractors.  This one-story school was constructed of red polychrome brick and consists of two parallel wings with a center connector.  Like its 1950s counterparts, its design is influenced by the International style, although it has a very low pitched gable roof instead of a flat roof.  However, it does have overhangs in some places.  The classrooms have large expanses of windows that have been partially infilled with panels.  The auditorium wing, located on the front (north) elevation, retains the original window openings.  Decorative detail is provided by the use of green aggregate panels above and below the auditorium windows and below the classroom windows.  Under Phase 1A of the 1999 Bond Program, the school received a new library, expanded cafeteria and kitchen, and six new classrooms.  This addition connects the building to an activity building.  Upon the attainment of 50 years of age and further assessment of its integrity, the school may be potentially eligible for the National Register for its association with the history of education in Fort Worth.
