First School Building, c.1885

Existing building (the South Barracks) used as the first school building. Students are posed on the balconies and lined up to enter the building. A sign attached at the near end of the building reads "Schoolrooms." 

This building was demolished in July 1888 and replaced with a new building for the same purpose.
