The Seattle Public Schools bought 1.4 acres of property roughly bounded by 6th Street (later Avenue), Madison Street, 7th Street (Avenue) and Marion Street. A small, two-room, one-story school house was erected rapidly in 1877; it operated until 05/17/1883, when the 6th Street School #2 was built to the plans of Isaac Palmer. Later this two-room school house was adaptively reused as an apartment house, and later, in 1950, demolished to provide another vital parking lot.

The 6th Street School #1 was a spare utilitarian building, a gabled box covered with clapboard siding, meant to be erected quickly.
