Tearing down Whitman School. The "Big Red School House" took a beating in the April 1949 earthquake and had to be replaced. The school's 700 students were housed in portables and makeshift rooms until the new school was erected in 1952 at 1120 South 39th Street. (For the Record, Winnifred L. Olsen)
