Reno's second high school

Reno's second high school
Two bond elections in 1908 and 1910 financed five new schools built in the Spanish style--four grade schools and a high school, shown here. Built on West Street between 4th and 5th Streets in 1912 for 500 students, it cost $140,000. It was nationally recognized as a state-of-the-art facility, with evaporative cooling, central heating, and well equipped classrooms for "industrial work." After the current high school was built it became Central Junior High School, and was later demolished (1967).
