This is a picture of a picture from the days before the gyms
existed.
This was the main entrance before State Street Junior High was
added to Central high School.
The flag pole is slightly visible along the right edge of the
picture.

The original section of Classical to the left before the addition,
sometime between 1899 and 1919.
Ti the left is the flag pole that stood between Central high and
State Street Grammer which was in the old Springfield High School
building.
Across State Street is St. Michaels Cathedral.

All that remains are the two stone supports. In this picture
only the one to the right of the middle window is visible.
Also the bricks between the kitchen and the loge windows appear
cleaner in the middle window.
