More about this item
- Description
- Photograph of Rockwood School, part of School District No. 27, on 181st Avenue and Stark Street. There is a group of children and adults standing outside of the building.
- Provenance
- Found in collections. This appears to be another angle of photo 319. Rockwood was located between Portland and Gresham at the time of its establishment; it was annexed by Gresham in the 1980s and makes up most of the city's western boundary. Residents established the Rockwood School, Multnomah County District No. 27 in 1901, and the first one-room schoolhouse followed in 1902 at a cost of $1,000. As the community grew, taxpayers approved a new four-room building in 1908, and the Rockwood Grange took over the former schoolhouse. By the time District No. 27 consolidated with the Reynolds School District in 1976, it also included a middle school, which Portland Lutheran School purchased and took over in 1990. Now, the southern part of the former Rockwood district is part of the Centennial School District, with local children attending Patrick Lynch or Meadows elementary schools, Oliver Middle, and Centennial High School.
