1909 Longview High School Auditorium

The 1909 Longview High School was located on the corner of present day College St. & Avalon Ave. behind the former Nicholson Memorial Library building. The 1909 building was the first brick high school in Longview. It served the home of the Lobos from 1909 to 1928 when a new high school was constructed (present day Longview Early Graduation High School). The 1909 building served as Campus Ward Elementary School from 1928 - 1944 when it was destroyed by fire. A modern elementary school was built that would later serve as the annex to the then Foster Middle School.
