Dewitty and The Cooper School
Dewitty is most strongly associated with the Frank B. Cooper School. When the old Cooper school was given city landmark status, the fact that it was where Dewitty first taught in Seattle was one of the major reasons cited to give it that status. Similarly, the discussion of the school on the National Park Service page about the school as a site on the National Register of Historic Places is largely about Dewitty.
The old school building is now the Youngstown Cultural Arts Center and houses the Thelma Dewitty Theater.
