This is the H Street School, which was built in the western part of town between Seventh and Eighth streets. Completed in 1892, the $20,000 structure housed the Salida Public High School on the second floor until 1910. Elementary classrooms were located in the partial basement and on the first floor. In 1920, the school was renamed “Longfellow,” after the American poet. After the present elementary school was constructed in 1957, the historic Longfellow School was razed in 1966.
