Description

Photograph of a high school in Watsonville, ca.1900. The edges of the roofs are shaped in the fashion of old Spanish architecture and each display a star-shaped design on the smooth, lightly-colored walls just below. The center portion of the front wall has a pole extending from the peek of the roof and four arched windows in the wall. The center portion also has rounded towers on either side with arched windows all around the top of them. Arcades in front of the side portions of the school extend from the rounded towers. Paved sidewalks divide the grass yard in front.
