Provenance

The 3 story Gresham Grade and High School was built in 1901 by John Brown. With four classrooms, it was the largest school to be built in Gresham at the time. The first high school class of two students graduated from it in 1906. The school stood from 1901 to 1923 at the southwest corner of Powell and Walters, on the site of three earlier school buildings. Gresham High School was constructed in 1915, after which this school housed only 1st through 8th grades. It was replaced in 1923 by a new building that was called Gresham Grade School and later became West Gresham Elementary.
