Lincoln High School’s original building: Built in 1888 Portland, Oregon. The school eventually moved to a new location, and the original was demolished in 1930.

   I love this type of architecture and hate that so much of it was lost in the USA.

   This one hurts. Love mansard roofs.

   So something like this was built to only stand there for less than 50 years? Yes, makes a lot of sense

   In France, high schools of this grandeur are dime a dozen.

   I swear it says “Erected 1883” not 1888 on the tower in the photo
