Scope and content
Plywood sheathing being applied to the roofing structure of the new Grant School at No. 11th & Prospect. Photo ordered by the Douglas Fir Plywood Association. This structure will be the kitchen and cafeteria/multipurpose room of the new school. Grant School was originally built of frame structure in 1900. A brick addition was added in 1920, in fact this photo was probably taken from the roof of that two story addition. The original frame structure was removed to make way for the new structure, which incorporated the 1920 addition. The school is named for Ulysses S. Grant, Civil War Union Army general and President of the United States.
