West Seattle School, Seattle, circa 1905
Order an ImageThe small community of West Seattle constructed this impressive castle-like structure in 1893 to serve all of its school-age residents. The first year only a single classroom was used for 20 pupils. By 1902 high school classes began and enrollment continued to grow.
This photo shows the West Seattle School as it looked prior to an addition constructed in 1909. The school was renamed Lafayette School in 1918, and served only younger students after West Seattle High School was built in 1917.
