In this study we analyzed the formation and the establishment of teachers' room and principal's office in Japanese school buildings. The teachers' room was placed for rest and meal in the early time of the educational system, but after the late 20th year of the Meiji era, it was also used for works for class, school clerical works and official/unofficial meetings. The principal's office began to be placed around the 20th year of the Meiji era and progressively increased. Both were situated closely at the center of the first floor of the school building in the late Meiji era.
