Description
-
A photograph of Gresham Grade School and High School on Powell Boulevard, the fourth school building built in Gresham. Eight men are outside the building and on the steps and second floor balcony. The photo appears to have been taken shortly before or after construction on the building was finished, as carpenters are on site, and loose wooden planks are scattered on the ground. Two bicycles have been leaned against the building.
