Description
Photograph of the exterior of Alhambra High School, ca.1905. The three story school has an elaborate Romanesque façade, complete with cylindrical columns holding up an overhang. The steps leading up to the main entrance are pyramidal, and there are several people seated on them. There is another entrance to the school on the right side, also elaborately decorated with columns. There is a large clock tower on top of the building, showing the time to be about 1:17. There is a palm tree to the right of the school. The school was demolished in 1923.
