A group of school children and teachers are working in a garden at McKinley School in this 8" x 6" black and white photograph. A wire fence runs around the garden, and a wooden sign reads: "McKinley School Garden, Please Do Not Disturb the Children's Flowers". Houses and other buildings can be seen in the background.
McKinley School was located at 230 S. 15th Street in Lincoln, Nebraska from 1902 to 1927. It was used as an elementary school until 1915 when it became a "special school with grades 1-9 with prevocational and evening classes." The school building was constructed in 1902 for a cost of $35,319.50. The contractor was T.P. Harrison.
