Picture of Prairie Elementary School, built in 1907 at the intersection of Washington and McCall avenues, Del Rey, Calif. Western Stick architectural style. The structure, the second schoolhouse constructed at the intersection, had four rooms, a small library located in its center, and was topped by a belfry. In 1935-1936, the campus was relocated to Second Street in Del Rey. The 1907 schoolhouse was sold in 1940, subsequently used as a residence, and was later destroyed by fire. The Prairie School District was created in 1882, and merged with the Rosedale District in 1950 to form the Del Rey Union District. In 1966, the union district was incorporated into the Sanger Unified School District.
