Stanley Hall School

0

As the city began to expand east, a new school was built in the newly-developing Bayard Park area in 1901 because of overcrowded schools downtown. By 1915, the neighborhood boasted a school, a Carnegie library, and so many residences that the school, originally called Chandler Street School, was enlarged and renamed Stanley Hall School in honor of G. Stanley Hall, a prominent American educator. This image shows the new addition, as well as the library in the distance, soon after both buildings opened. After redistricting, the school closed in 1972.
