Despite what the University of Libraries record says, the 1883 Central School was not "destroyed in the fire of 1889": it burned in April 1888. Someone was probably confused by the fact that Brown's Pavilion on the northwest corner of 2nd Avenue and Spring Street, which functioned as the Central School after that fire did, indeed burn the Seattle Fire of 1889.
