Scope and content
One of 14 technical drawings for the Edison School Annex, created by Frederick Henry Heath on March 28, 1910. Renamed in 1912 to the Barlow Annex after South Tacoma community activist Orin Watts Barlow. The structure was demolished in 2011.
Frederick Henry Heath was born in LaCrosse, Wisconsin in 1861 and graduated from Powell's Academy, a parochial institution created by Rev William R. Powell in Caledonia, Minnesota. Heath moved to Tacoma in 1893 and formed a partnership with Ambrose James Russell and A. Walter Spaulding in 1901. It was during this partnership that Heath would become the School Architect for the Tacoma School District from 1903 through 1920, when he had moved on to partner with George Gove and draftsman Herbert A. Bell as Heath, Gove & Bell. Towards the end of his life, Heath collaborated with his son Frederick Jr. to help promote and sell his invention, "Heath Cubes," a square, hollow tile building material.
