According to an Alumni Association web site of Mission High School, "The original Mission High School building was completed in 1898 as a three-story brick school designed in the Italian Renaissance Beaux-Arts style. The building withstood the 1906 Earthquake, and became a neighborhood shelter, while Dolores Park, which stands across the street from the school, became a tent city for displaced residents." (SeeAccessed 11/15/2010.)

The San Francisco School Board bought property once owned by the Jewish Cemetery Association in 1896 to build the Mission High School #1.

Demolished; destroyed by fire in 1922.
