Earlier on this blog, I posted the photo above, taken from almost the same location (7th and Exchange), but from a vantage point closer to the ground. In the next photo, taken the other day (March 23, 2010), I was standing at the opposite corner of the park, which is somewhere in front of the blue house in the background above.
You can see what a lopsided piece of ground it is. I wonder why they eventually tore down the building? The park is currently used as a baseball diamond, and at the left is a swing set. There's a picnic table with benches near the tree. Of course, that's the great Columbia River in the background; the hills on the other side are in Washington.

Maybe they tore it down because students kept falling out of the windows?
I remember your previous post of this area and thought then, as now, this is a gorgeous piece of land! At least it is being put to good use!
I remember the previous post too. Great post as usual. It was a lovely building. 1909, the birth year of my grandmother...
informative post I didnt know the school had been there. Nice update on that corner you featured the other day.
I remember that post too. I wonder if it eventually became unstable in some way. It sure was a neat looking old school.
I remmeber the corner, a pity for the school building. I wonder what they can do more with this piece of land.
