Description
Timpanogos Elementary School in Provo, Utah is now on its third incarnation. The original school on the site was built in 1892. That school was demolished in 1938 and replaced by a New Deal school constructed with Public Works Administration (PWA) funds in 1938. The New Deal version of the school was demolished in 2007 and replaced with a third version of the school at the same location (photo below).

I would be very interested in any pictures of Timpanogos Elementary before it was demolished in 2007. My mother taught kindergarten there in the 1940s, and I would love to have a picture for my history.
