Scope and Contents

The survey on the South Middle School in Grand Forks, N.D. includes a written report (12 leaves) with an eight-page identification log of the photographs included with the report, followed by copy photographic prints of the exterior and interior of the school. The report includes sections devoted to physical history, historical context, architectural information, sources of information, and project information. This is followed by a short description of each of the images in the collection. The photograph collection consists of sixty-six 4 x 5 in. copy prints showing contemporary views of the exterior and interior of the building, including architectural details. The photographs were taken by Monica Griesbach. Images 67 through 76 are photographic reproductions of the original drawings for the building and are 8 x 10 in. in size. The header for the prints states the negatives are held at the University of North Dakota, while the transmittal letter states the original negatives are held at the State Historical Society of North Dakota. Accompanying this collection at the time of donation was a similar survey done for the Belmont School in Grand Forks which is processed as Photo Collection 2072.
