256 – Glen Oak School
feldencat Says: “The very first Glen Oak School was located in a frame house at 903 E. Frye Avenue. In 1898, Glen Oak School opened in a three-room frame building at the corner of Atlantic and Republic Streets.”
The web site from which I borrowed this photo says simply “Glen Oak School circa 1885.”
For the record, the current Glen Oak Primary School, whose days are numbered, is located at 809 E. Frye Ave.
