Similar to the 2004-02-13 batch, but color-corrected, sharpened, and missing the snide commentary. These are for public distribution. 000 Built in 1898, Pratt Community School is still in superb condition, thanks to thousands of hours of community effort and $1.1 million in neighborhood contributions. 001 Though it was closed in 1982 and reopened in 2000, it was used by Minneapolis Community Education during the interim (and still is). As a result, Pratt has been operating as a school continuously for 106 years. 002 003 Note the limestone arches and banding. When the school was modernized, our neighborhood contributions also funded replacement of the windows. 004 Arts-and-crafts pendant lights hang on either side of the front door. 005 Note the Greek Revival pediments and the Sidney Pratt name. Sidney Pratt was the first soldier educated by the Minneapolis school system to be killed in the Spanish-American War. He was also the son of Robert Pratt, who was both Minneapolis Public School Superintendent and Mayor of Minneapolis at the time. 006 The front entrance and transom window. 007 Stairs leading to the second floor. 008 Looking north toward the school parking lot. 009 010 Note the shine on the oak floors and the well-preserved paint and wood trim. 011 Quarter-sawn oak cabinets can still be found in many rooms. 012 Looking toward the woods of Tower Hill Park.
