Part of Marvin Boland Photographs
Most of the children seated in this first grade classroom at Rogers (Elementary) School stare solemnly at the photographer on January 19, 1923. Their teacher stands in the back of the room. Blackboards for reading, writing and arithmetic stretch along at least two sides of the room. Rogers School was built in 1907 and was the first concrete school building in Tacoma. It was named in honor of Gov. John R. Rogers. Rogers School was closed in 2002. G46.1-052
