x 1892 the lofty and imposing structure, since known as South High School, came into existence on the corner of Cedar Avenue and East Twenty-Fourth Street as a result of the school hoard’s decision that South Minneapolis was big enough to have a school of its own. In those historical days a streak of romance influenced the minds of the usually conservative architects; and it was jxirticularlv strong in the mind of the architect who had South High at his mercy.
