Description
Photograph of an exterior view of Union High School in Whittier, ca.1905. The three-story school is shown at center, elevated slightly on a small hill. It is shown askew, angled slightly to the right so that a small portion of the left wall is visible. The building is designed in the Classical Revival style of architecture, featuring a dome, its front door bracketed by columns and triangular decorations mounted over the windows. A sidewalk can be seen cutting parallel to the school in the foreground.
