Arcadia's first school house which was made over from a packing shed given by Elias J. "Lucky" Baldwin. This photo shows 26 people, students and teachers standing at door. It was located at corner of Santa Anita Avenue and Falling Leaf Drive. (street name later changed to Huntington Drive). Used from 1903-1907. Only Julian Fisher identified.
Group of 30 students and one teacher standing by the "little red schoolhouse." It was on corner of California and Santa Anita Avenue and had been converted out of a vacant saloon. It was pressed into service when students outgrew new building that opened in 1907. We believe African-American boy in second row is Julian Fisher.
About 38 students and two teachers or possibly three are seated and standing in grass in front of trees or shrubs. We believe the African-American boy is Julian Fisher.
