TitleGatewood School students on last day of school, Seattle, June 17, 1949
PhotographerDavis, Harvey
Seattle Post-Intelligencer
Date1949
CaptionSeattle Post-Intelligencer photographers regularly shot pictures of ecstatic children leaving on the last day of school, usually a bright and sunny June day. This photo of Gatewood students is typical, and so is the old school building. Gatewood, named for residential tracts in the West Seattle neighborhood, opened in 1910. In 1988 the exterior of the school was designated a city landmark, and the renovation work done in 1991 is a model for its successful blending of new and old elements.
NotesHandwritten on negative: 6th Graders - Gatewood - Last day of school, 6-17-49.

Handwritten on sleeve: Seattle - schools - Gatewood, with Mrs. Norine Malloy, Karen Wilson, Carol Wilson.

Date photograph was filed at the Seattle Post-Intelligencer (date of photograph and file date may differ by a month or more): July 26, 1949.
