Description |
English: Seattle grew fast in the 1880s. Denny School was overcrowded from the day it opened in 1884 in what was then Seattle's north end. Two wings were soon added to hold additional classrooms. The west wing was torn down in 1911 when part of Denny Hill was regraded. Classes continued in the rest of the building until 1928, when it was torn down during the final regrading of the hill. In June 1928, former teachers and students of Denny School gathered for a reunion shortly before the building was demolished. The first reunion, on Friday June 15, was so successful that a second gathering was held the following Friday. A photographer was invited to the June 22 reunion to take a photograph of the group against the backdrop of the school, the oldest public school in Seattle at that time. At the event, the Denny Alumni Association was formed, charged with creating a roster of attendees of the school. A partial roster of teachers and pupils who attended the school was published in the July 24, 1928 Seattle Daily Times. Shown here is the panoramic group photograph taken of Denny School teachers and students at the June 22 reunion.Handwritten on image: Reunion of Students and Teachers of the Old Denny School from 1884 to 1893.
