The burned out Alamosa High School in Alamosa, Alamosa County, Colorado is a two-story brick shell, which burned April 26, 1930. Townspeople gather outside the smoke blackened brick building with its missing roof. Automobiles and trucks fill the area in front of the school. The sidewalk is diagonal on the left side and Adams State College is in the background. The school was rebuilt and then occupied again in August, 1932.
