#FlashbackFriday with the Historical Society: East Side School

It’s time once again for #FlashbackFriday with the Whitewater Historical Society.

School is back in session and this month we will be taking a deep dive into the East Side School, known after 1961 as the Washington School. This image is the oldest we have of the school. Sources are unclear as to when the building was constructed, either 1857 or 1872. There was an east side school built in 1857, but supposedly it was replaced in 1872. The appearance of this building could be from either date. Our next posts will show how this building changed over the years.

Join us next week for more from the Whitewater Historical Society.
