To the left is a photograph taken of Patterson school also between 1890 and 1900. The photograph may have been taken at the same time as the photographs above, but careful observation would indicate that the tree at the back right of the building is without leaves while the trees in the other photograph is in bloom. The name of the photographer is unknown.

The students photographed here were grades 1 to 4 of the Patterson school.
The doorway doesn't look like one of the doorways at the front of the building so they were probably photographed in back of the school.
The photograph may have been taken in October of 1919. Note the date in the upper right hand corner of the photograph.
