The good work went forward, and by the end of the year a handsome 

 two-story building with rooms separate for different grades, and crowned 

 with a suitable bell, was ready for use. And Mr. Matthews and Miss 

 Royce had the honor of inaugurating the new temple of learning.* The 

 historic little old original school-house was sold and moved off the grounds ; 

 it served various uses till finally most of it was incorporated in a cottage 

 built by R. Williams on South Fair Oaks avenue — and in the ' ' boom time," 

 [1886], this cottage was sold and moved to a lot on Adella Avenue, where it 

 still stands as No. 407 — the residence of Joseph Yates, in 1894. ^^t 

 another portion of it forms the main body of a cheap cottage, now No. 20, 

 on Mills street, t 



Meanwhile, during the fall of 1877, the people at the south end of 

 Pasadena, thinking the San Pasqual School at too great a distance, and de- 

 siring to have more immediate control in their own school matters, began 

 to agitate the question of having a new district. The movement succeeded, 

 and in January, 1878, the " Pasadena School District " was formed, includ- 

 ing that portion of the settlement south of California street and west of 

 Fair Oaks Avenue, to the north line of Los Angeles city. On March 5, 

 1878, the first school was opened in a building owned by C. B. Ripley, and 

 standing at the summit of the grade, or hill on west Columbia street, now 

 the Charles Foote place. A five-acre lot at the corner of Sylvan Avenue 

 and Columbia street was soon purchased of A. O. Porter, for school pur- 

 poses. 



*May 21, 1S94, J. W. Vandevort presented the City Council with a photograph of our First City Hall 

 (the old Central School building), and S. Washburn presented the original subscription list which 

 enabled that building to be erected, in 1876. The relics were properly cased and hung on the wall of the 

 Council room. 



fAfter this chapter was written, J. A. De Hay bought this part of the old colony school-house and 

 moved it down to his home place on Waverly Drive.
