Turk Street Primary School, Historical Sketch, SF Muni Report, 1879-80 This school was opened in the basement rooms of a church building on Laguna street, between Tyler and McAllister streets, November 3, 1875, under the charge of Mrs. Georgia WASHBURN as Principal. It was transferred December 13, 1877, into the Turk street building, which then contained eight class rooms. Afterward the roof of the building was raised and another story was added, thus increasing the number of class rooms to twelve. This work was finished in June, 1878. The school now contains twelve classes, and has an enrollment of six hundred and fifty-six boys and girls in the primary grades. ----------------- Carolyn
