Ray Py, local historian, writes that the older building in the foreground " was once the new high school built in 1906. It replaced the high school building of 1871 built on the corner of Milwaukee at Wauwatosa, the site of the present Tosa East (in distance, here). Some years later, Wauwatosa Junior High (later called Longfellow JH) was built at the north-east corner of the present Tosa East bldg on 75th St." About 1959, nearer building (in photo below).was destroyed to create a new addition to Lincoln Elementary (out of picture to left), as the Junior High was moved 6 blocks north to 76th and North Avenue.
