Description

Lantern slide featuring a photo looking down Palace Green towards the old Williamsburg High School building that was torn down to make way for the reconstruction of the Governor's Palace. It is the thirty-eighth slide in a set produced by the Pacific Stereopticon Co. of Los Angeles, California, now defunct, to illustrate the story of Dr. W.A.R. Goodwin's dream to restore a portion of Williamsburg, Virginia to its 18th-century appearance as a shrine to early American ideals.

The Williamsburg High School stood on Palace Green from 1921 until 1933. It was replaced by Matthew Whaley School on a site adjacent to the Governor's Palace.
