A large group of school children are standing outside of the Capitol School in this 9-1/2" x -5/8" black and white photograph. The school is a two-story brick building with a steeple in the front and many windows. The old Capitol building is in the background.
Capitol School was located at 821 S. 16th Street in Lincoln, Nebraska, from 1886 to 1963. It was torn down in 1963 and replaced with McPhee School. The first part of the building was built in 1886 by contractors Grace and Kelley for a price of $18,477. A new wing of four rooms was built in 1900, at a cost of $13,407.35, by the contractors Cambell Brothers.
