Scope and content
1926 exterior of the Morton M. McCarver Intermediate School. McCarver was Tacoma's third intermediate school and opened its doors to 600 students in late 1925. It was named for Tacoma founder and one of the school district's first directors, General Morton Matthew McCarver. The Gothic-style building was designed by architects Hill & Mock who also designed the Allen C. Mason Intermediate School. It was renamed McCarver Junior High in 1928 and added elementary school classes in 1938 when Lincoln Elementary School closed. In 1968 McCarver became an elementary school entirely when the junior high classes were eliminated. G47.1-060; BU-11, 428 (Olsen: For The Record, p. 127-28) TPL-10454
