Color postcard (14 x 9 cm.) with an exterior view of the High School located at 25th and L Streets in South Omaha, Nebraska. The building is three stories and has an arched entry with four arched windows above with wings extending from both sides of the main entry building.
This was the first South High School erected in 1887 at 25th & L Streets and used until 1905 when enrollment grew too large for the building. Originally it was a two story brick structure built on a high clay bank. Later the bank was graded down and the first floor added under the original building. They intended that it should be a grade school but in 1889 the first high school class was held in it with only five pupils. After the first two years the high school occupied the two top floors and the grade school the lower one. Source: "The History of South Omaha" by Madison School (1941) p. 27
