Scope and content
ca. 1916. In 1916, Steilacoom School District #1 built a new brick school for $15,000. In the winter of 1916-17, three teachers including the principal Miss Beatrice Blair, and grades 1-8 moved into the new school. The school was built directly in front of the old wooden two-story school originally built in 1892 on land purchased from school board member, E.R. Rogers, on Nisqually Street. The above photograph shows both schools; the old school was sold to a Mr. Gamble for $25. It was torn down in 1917.
