ca. 1948. Central School. Central School was built in 1912. Heath & Gove were the architects for the eight-story English Gothic structure. Battlements crown the turrets on the tower's corners. F.H. Goss was the contractor. The school was built on the site of Washington College that later became Tacoma High School. Central School opened formally the fall of 1913. The bell from the former Central School (located at 1114 South Altheimer Street) was installed in the new building. The eight story tower dominates the exterior of the building on the corner of South 8th Street and Tacoma Avenue South.
