The cost of the new high school building was $60,000. 3500,000 bricks were used for the school building. Zetzsche and Zetzsche Co. contracted for all the painting and tinting. Link Mumma was landscape designer and grounds keeper. Ellensburg's first high school building was opened September 9, 1912.Postcard titled: "New High School, Ellensburg, Wash."
