Summary[edit]

Description
English: Exterior view of second Los Angeles High School, Fort Moore Hill, Los Angeles, 1908
  • Photograph of the exterior view of second Los Angeles High School with the American flag flying above the clock tower, at Hill Street on Fort Moore Hill, Downtown Los Angeles, in 1908.
  • The 4-story brick Romanesque Revival style building is surrounded by a low picket fence. Two entries are visible in this perspective — one with a square portico (at left) and one under an arch (at right).
  • Hill Street runs along the front of the school. A sign posted in a vacant lot is beside the school reads: "for sale, C.O.G., has Goodwin [...]". Several trees are visible. Utility poles and lines run above the sidewalk and street.


"Los Angeles' first high school was located on Poundcake Hill, near First and Fort St. (which is now Broadway.) Los Angeles High School was created on the Central Elementary School site in 1873, at a cost of $20,000. The school's first principal was Dr. W.T. Lucky. Its first graduating class (1875) had 7 members.
In 1882, to make room for the County Court House, the school was moved to Fort Moore Hill, where the present Board of Education now stands. The picture to the left is that of the second Los Angeles High School. In 1917, it moved again to its current location on Olympic Blvd., and Rimpau Ave., with 1937 students. " -- unknown author.
