Description

This picture is of the 1931 building that was built at a cost of $70,000. It was fashioned after Isaac Litton High School in Nashville. A gymnasium was added in 1948. A new school was built in 1962 and this building became the Junior High School.
On December 2, 1967 an overnight fire destroyed almost all of the building. The Gallatin and Franklin, Kentucky, fire departments came to assist the Portland Fire Department with the massive fire. The only thing left standing was the gymnasium, which is currently used as part of Richland Park
