Building History

The Seattle Public Schools utilized this small schoolhouse between c. 1893 and 1918, when neighborhood students shifted to attend at the new Bryant School.

Building Notes

The Yesler School was a small, wood-frame building, roughly square in shape, topped by a pyramidal hipped roof. At the center of the roof was an octagonal belfry, housing bells calling students to class. The walls were covered in thin clapboards. The front facade had a symmetrical fenestration. The front facade had a pair of double hung windows in the center, each with a clerestory. On either side, were two trabeated doorways, each having an arched transom window above it.
