English: School children leaving Main Street School, December 21, 1921

English: The Main Street School opened in 1873, at Sixth Avenue South and Main Street. By the 1920s, the old wooden building was no longer adequate. On a rainy day in December 1921, the students and teachers left their old school building and walked to the new, brick Bailey Gatzert School on 12th Avenue South and Weller Street.

In this photo, Main Street School students are ready to start their walk to Bailey Gatzert School. Most of the children at the Main Street School were Asian Americans.

File:Main Street School, December 12, 1921 - DPLA - 53373cd271bc6a509afd002a56e48bd1.jpg, much higher resolution, was obviously taken seconds apart from this. Following up from the date discrepancy: "December 21" in the original title here is wrong, it's definitely December 12. This very photo appeared in the Seattle Times December 12, 1921, on page 5. (FWIW, https://www.seattleschools.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/gatzert.pdf has the date wrong, probably that online book is where someone got it.)
