Denny School

While the Denny School stood near the park, I believe the current article is wrong in saying that t he park was "the site of" the school. Nile Thompson & Carolyn Marr, Building for learning - Seattle Public Schools Histories, 1862-2000, Seattle: Seattle Public Schools, 2002, which should be definitive, says it was between 5th and 6th Avenues in Belltown. http://www.seattleschools.org/area/historybook/denny.pdf is a pdf of the relevant chapter. Unless someone has a heck of a citation to the contrary, this should be changed. (The cupola of the Denny School stands in the park today; perhaps that confused someone.) - Jmabel | Talk 08:20, 2 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Seeing no objection, I'll follow up on this. - Jmabel | Talk 17:57, 3 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm. At one time the cupola was in the park, but when I looked a couple of months ago, it's no longer there. - Jmabel | Talk 07:56, 8 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Regrade

I also think "the 60-foot-high park was lowered to its present, street level" is misleading. The park was always "at street level" if you arrived from the north or east. The issue about the park being inaccessible by car roughly 1910-1930 was if you came from the southwest, which is to say from downtown. During that period, immediately east of 5th Avenue was more or less a cliff. Both the park and the streets to its north and east were lowered in Denny Regrade No. 2. See Regrading in Seattle. - Jmabel | Talk 08:23, 2 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
