| Photographer | Laidlaw, Charles |
| Date | 1932 |
| Caption | Franklin High School opened in the fall of 1912 in Seattle's Mount Baker area. The new school had 42 classrooms, two gymnasiums, a library, a home economics model apartment, and a 1, 300 seat auditorium. When it opened, the school had 769 students, but the student body grew quickly. The school was built in the popular Renaissance Revival style, and was considered by some to be the school system's best building to date. This view shows the large amount of land surrounding the school and the curved streets that followed the topography of the area. |
