The Central School, built in 1879-1880 on West Street between 4th and 5th served as both a grade school and a high school. Beginning with four classrooms, an addition doubled the number of classrooms, and later those classrooms were subdivided, and "gloomy rooms with low ceilings" were carved out of the basement for the high school chemistry and physics classes, until 20 stoves were required to heat all the rooms. It was demolished in 1911 when a new high school was built on the site. | Date: ca. 1900 | Source: Special Collections, University of Nevada, Reno Libraries Download Original File
