Renton High School, 1925

Order an Image
Renton's first high school was built in 1911, at a cost of $65,000. The clock in the school's tower rang on the hour and half hour and could be heard all over town. By 1931, this building was too small for the growing student body. A larger high school replaced it in 1932, and the old school building was torn down in 1941.

In 1925, a photographer from the firm of Webster & Stevens took a series of photographs of buildings and scenes in Renton, Washington. One of these photos shows the old Renton High School with its cupola and clock.
