Transcribed from back of photograph: “THE LAST DAY OF THE (Main Street) SOUTH SCHOOL was on Dec. 12, 1921, when the classes and their teachers were marched to the newly erected Bailey Gatzert School. The old Main Street building was later used by the Park Department for a department stable and was finally torn down in recent years. The foto shows the last classes that entered the building.”
