Title
English: Columbia School, ca. 1892
Description
English: The real-estate developers of Columbia City reserved land for a school one block west of Rainier Avenue. The wood frame school with a large bell tower opened in 1892 and served students of all grades. When Columbia City was annexed by neighboring Seattle in 1907, the city suddenly had two Columbia Schools. The name of the younger one, on Capitol Hill, was changed to Lowell. The Columbia City school kept its original name.

This photo shows Columbia School, in Columbia City, shortly after it opened in 1892. A year later a wing was added across the rear of the building. The enlarged building served area students until 1922 when it was replaced by the present one-story building.
