Summary: Three-quarter view of the front and right side of the William Moore School nestled among trees taken from the street. [history] Located on the corner of Fifth Street and Rosser Avenue, it was built by Robert B. Mason, who owned and operated a brickyard in the west end of the city.

It was rented to Burleigh County for offices for the County Auditor and Treasurer after the North Ward School was built in 1884. The building was torn down when the present Will School was built in 1905.
