More found in the trash photos and post cards

Photo taken by Long Beach, Calif. photographer, Shirley V. Bacon about 1898 -1910.

 

Could use some help to ID this building. The pictures on the internet look a little different then this building if this is suppose to be Long Beach High School.

 

 

I came by these wonderful old B & W photos by way of my aunt. She was at a Scrap Booking convention/ retreat in the Red Woods of northern Calif. This woman sitting at the same table as my aunt, threw out three old photo albums full of family photos & post cards from the late 1800s to the early 1900s. The lady said the albums once belonged to her mother in law and since she didn't know the people in the photos she tossed the albums in the trash. My aunt later went dumpster diving and initially gave me one album and she kept the other two, then had a change of mind and gave me the other two albums.

 

You don't have to know the people to enjoy the photos. Well just like the old sayings go, "A picture is worth a 1000 words", or "One man's trash is another man's treasure"

Hey I could use a little help. If you recognize people or places or vehicles please speak up, add your comments please.

On the back it says High School Long Beach.
