Description

Transcribed from front of photograph: "Seattle Schools. Main Street School. 6th and Main. Built 1873 and called South school; name changed to Main Street school 1889; enlarged 1900; demolished 1921. Frame. Exterior. Front view. Last day of school. Pupils being marched to new school (Bailey Gatzert) Dec. 12, 1921." Transcribed from back of photograph: “THE LAST DAY OF THE (Main Street) SOUTH SCHOOL was on Dec. 12, 1921, when the classes and their teachers were marched to the newly erected Bailey Gatzert School. The old Main Street building was later used by the Park Department for a department stable and was finally torn down in recent years. The foto shows the last classes that entered the building.”

File:School children leaving Main Street School, December 12, 1921 (MOHAI 5102).jpg was clearly taken seconds apart from this. That photo is dated "December 21", not "December 12"; https://www.seattleschools.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/gatzert.pdf also says the move was December 21.
