[Image Description:
A historical black-and-white photograph shows a large, two-story wooden building with a group of people standing and sitting on the upper balcony and on the ground level. The building is labeled in the text below as "Major Fowler's Store." People in 19th-century clothing are posed formally for the picture, with a horse-drawn carriage in front.

Beneath the photo is a typed excerpt from a historical document titled "History of Rice & Steele Counties." The excerpt reads:

"On the second Wednesday in September 1863, the School was opened with five pupils in attendance. The buildings occupied were the store and dwellings on Front Street known as: Major Fowler's Store."
Mr. R. A. Mott was one of 3 Commissioners appointed by the legislature to start a school for the Deaf in Faribo."

Below the document is a red background with yellow text that reads:

"SEPTEMBER 9th, 1863
We have been educating Deaf youth for 162 years!"

A small shield-shaped logo in the bottom left corner features the outline of the state of Minnesota with a star marking a location in the southern part of the state, likely indicating Faribault.]
