Color photomechanical print of the Grant school building which was built in 1930 on the corner of Fourth (4th) & Union Streets. It replaced the old Union Street School destroyed by fire in 1929. Because Grant had the largest gymnasium in Scioto County, it was used by PHS and for county and regional basketball tournaments for over 30 years. It was razed in 2004 for the construction of the new Portsmouth Elementary building.
Color photomechanical print of the Davis High school building front view, on the corner of Gallia & Waller Streets. It had been the residence of George Davis before being used from 1902 to 1910 as a school. It was razed for the construction of the new high school in 1912.
Color photomechanical print of the east side of Chillicothe Street facing south including the old Post Office and the First National Bank.

Gallia Street runs between the buildings.
