Hey Class of 1956, the New Jr Highs of our day (1952/53) are being replaced with new buildings on the same grounds. New Logan Middle School and New McKinstry Elementry School. We is old.
Where are we? I say taken from Russell Lampson Site. Building in foreground was "Old Peoples Bank" see Trolley making jog on 4th St. On right see 5th St. Bridge and a portion of the 4th St. Bridge. Good Luck with the buildings
Where are we? From "Old Courthouse Site" before Park Ave Bridge, see Dam and 4th St Bridge. I need someone from the Class of 55 to help me with the buildings
Where are we? I say on 4th St (Trolley Tracks) at Sycamore St, ( Blacks Corner) as Layafette St. had tracks on it. Where is the Class Of 55 when you need them?
You forgot the Palace, which became the Waterloo Theatrer (Across from Blacks on Sycamore St) They found out the Strand was easier to remodel than to tear down. There is a Gentlemans Cinema up the block however.
2008 will be last year of Longfellow Grade School as the W'loo School Board voted to close it. The Building could be revived as the new EXPO HIGH SCHOOL and close Hawthorne Building as Expo is now there .
The "New Construction" was done on the Vine St Side of the Building, moving the Administration Offices away from these doors, you don't have to go up the stairs to now get to the Offices. This is still a great picture of a Great School .
