Description

This school was built in the early 1900s and replaced the earlier school building next to the Congregational Church. The school would be located where the senior living apartments are today. The interesting thing about this picture is, looking at the background, East Broadway does not appear to be built up yet. This indicates the era of the photograph.

A man is climbing up a ladder next to the school, and there are many carts and wagons with spectators.
