::::Okay, he wasn't familiar with the old drawing from the ''Historical Quarterly'', but I'm pretty sure, since that rendering matches the Wellge map so well, that it was the only school building that was down on Wright by the Depot (i.e. between 1875-1887, as per the article). The new photo you found shows pretty clearly that the building was on a hill, presumably Gage Hill. It seems reasonable to infer that the building with the towers stood on the hill from 1887 to when it burned down in 1919 (according to Mr. Appleyard). Maybe they appropriated that old Victorian house to serve as the school until the Pensacola High School building was finished in 1921. That building was annexed by nearby PJC and burned in 1968.--[[User:Admin|Admin]] 12:54, 28 April 2008 (CDT)
