Masten Park High School — Buffalo's second public high school, opened in 1897 — shown in its original Victorian Romanesque building designed by M.E. Beebe and Son, with its distinctive bell tower, arched entrance, and domed corner turret. This card shows the building as it stood before a catastrophic fire on March 27, 1912 gutted it entirely; it was razed and replaced by a new Beaux-Arts structure on the same site in 1914, now listed on the National Register of Historic Places as Fosdick-Masten Park High School (today City Honors School). Cards showing the original pre-fire building are the only photographic record of the 1897 structure. Mailed from Niagara Falls in June 1907, addressed to a Sophie in Indiana, Pennsylvania — a school friend, perhaps, or a teacher, addressed to "I.S.N.S." (Indiana State Normal School).
