-L lil 222 3400! All t0Pg The present Powell School building stands on the site of the old Perkins Secondary school house, the first to be built at Powell Station. The building was originally erected from funds alotted for grammar schools. However, since a survey showed need for high school classes in the community, the elementary school board agreed to permit the teaching of high school classes in the second story.

Monroe Wilson. In the same year Lincoln Park, Fair Garden, South Knoxville, Halls and Fountain City were built with a total cost of Sl00,000 lSix two-story buildings for less than half the expendi- ture of our newly erected high schoolbuildingl.
