Scope and content
ca. 1927. In 1927, first grade scholars sit at their desks in McKinley School showing off their handmade alphabet cards. The walls behind are adorned with student art work, including images of "Mount Tacoma," the name preferred in the early years by most Tacomans for our beloved Mount Rainier. This eight room McKinley schoolhouse was erected in 1908 at 3702 McKinley. Additions were made in 1910 and then the school remained virtually the same until 1954. In 2005, the school is still one of several elementary schools serving the McKinley Hill neighborhood. TPL-8776 (Argentum and 8 x10 print)
