Description |
Transcribed from photograph: "Seattle Schools. Maple school. Near Beacon Hill. Built 1900; demolished 1907-08. Exterior. Frame. View of front from right side." This building would have been demolished before Seattle annexed the Georgetown/Van Asselt area, but its successor became part of Seattle Public Schools. According to MOHAI, "Maple School was built sometime around 1865 south of Seattle on land donated by Samuel Maple. The original one-room schoolhouse was replaced in 1900 by a much larger wooden building with a tall bell tower. Because the school was located near a railway station named for Henry Van Asselt, some people called the building Van Asselt School, causing no end of confusion for later historians." According to Building for Learning, Seattle Public School Histories, 1862–2000, the land where this school was located is now either near or is part of Boeing Field (officially King County International Airport). The building was torn down in 1908 because it blocked a railway right of way. |
