Plywood sheathing being applied to the roofing structure of the new Grant School at No. 11th & Prospect. Photo ordered by the Douglas Fir Plywood Association. This structure will be the kitchen and cafeteria/multipurpose room of the new school. Grant School was originally built of frame structure in 1900. A brick addition was added in 1920, in fact this photo was probably taken from the roof of that two story addition. The original frame structure was removed to make way for the new structure, which incorporated the 1920 addition. The school is named for Ulysses S. Grant, Civil War Union Army general and President of the United States.

Plywood sheathing being applied to the roofing structure at the new Grant school on No. 11th & Prospect. Photo ordered by the Douglas Fir Plywood Association. Houses in view are 1101, 1102, 1105 & 1109 No. Prospect St. Grant school was originally constructed in 1900, with a brick addition in 1920. This photograph is probably taken from the 2nd story roof of that addition. Plans for the present school were drawn in 1954 and bids taken. However, there was not enough federal matching money available to build the school. Plans waited while voters approved a bond issue and construction began in 1955. The new concrete and brick faced building contained 20 classrooms, a kitchen, multipurpose room, library, office and boiler room. The original 1900 frame school was removed to make room for the new construction and the 1920 addition was incorporated into the new design. ("For the Record" by Winnifred L. Olsen)

Selected members of a Citizens Advisory Committee toured three north end schools in late August of 1954. Three of the members, Don Burbank, Mrs. Robert Myers, and Dr. R.A. Norton (left to right), are pictured in the aging Grant School auditorium which was filled with desks stored for the summer. The Citizens Advisory Committee, which represented 175 civic and service organizations, recommended replacement of both Grant Elementary and Stadium High School to the Tacoma School Board. The Grant auditorium could no longer be insured against earthquake damage. The school's deteriorating floors and heating system, bad frame construction, and badly worn window frames, doors and casings were noted. In contrast, the committee members were delighted with the spacious new Sherman Elementary on North 39th St. which would open for the first time that September.

Charles Fowler, age 7, a first grader at Grant School, spreads the 5,100 "iron" war pennies he has collected for the war effort on the table in front of him during School Bond Day. He had saved almost enough pennies to buy three war bonds. During the first two weeks of the "Mighty Seveth" war loan campaign, in May of 1945, the students in Pierce County schools were attempting to buy or sell 36,000 war bonds. Charles lived at 3115 No. 12th St. with his parents Dr. and Mrs. Harold N. Fowler. Dr. Fowler was a dentist. (TNT 5/18/45 p.16)

Tacoma Girl Scouts and Camp Fire Girls combined forces in November of 1946 to help the Tuberculosis League prepare 55,000 envelopes for the League's Christmas seal drive. The girls placed a sticker on the back of each envelope. This group of unidentified scouts was working in one of the classrooms at Grant School, 1018 North Prospect Street. The woman at the center, accepting a big stack of finished envelopes, is Miss Stella C. Kellogg the executive secretary of the Tuberculosis League of Pierce County. When not putting seals on envelopes, the girls were apparently studying knot tying and Morse code.(T.Times, 11/25, p.2; 11/28/1946, p10)
