Description
Photograph of a group of people outside the Temecula Indian School, ca.1890. Shown is Mrs. Prue(?), a teacher who was later killed by an Indian and the school was burned. There are fourteen people in the picture, a mix of men and women and boys and girls. All but four of them are wearing hats. The wooden school building is very simple: there are three rectangular windows on the long side, and two steps lead up to a door on the end. There are two ventilation shafts sticking out of the shingled roof. On the left side of the building is a small annex added onto the main building, and further to the left is a large tree. There is a wooden fence running behind the school building, and beyond it is a field with scattered bushes and trees.
