1952 - April 23 - Architect's Perspective of New Grade School Building


    Pictured here is the perspective of the new grade school building by Architect LeRoy Bradley of Fort Wayne.

    Workis progressing rapidly on the north wing of the building which was started early this year. The perspective is from School Street at the north east corner.

    The L-shaped room structure will be modern in every sense of the word and co,pletely fireproof.

    It will take the place of the present grade school building which was erected in the early 19000's and was condemmed several years ago by the STate fire Marshall.

    The present grade school building will be razed when the north section of the new building is completed.

    The east section of the building will connect on to the present high school building.

    A recreation roon, an agricultural shop, an audio-visual room, and commodious classrooms are among the fine features of the structure.
