Scope and content
Looking NW, a portable building is being moved by International Truck turning from 54th Ave. E. onto Pacific Highway E. at Fife Square on August 5, 1953. The Poodle Dog Restaurant is partly visible to left of truck, Fife Rexall Drugs at far left, Century Ballroom is at right. A man sits on top of the portable as it moves down the street. As baby boomers flooded the public school system, portables were used to ease the overcrowding in the classrooms.
