The still-standing "old school" was built in 1913. It had 7 classrooms, two stories, a loft, a basement (used as a cafeteria), and two stairways. Two grades shared one classroom.

Why this record matters

Chronology, provenance and viewpoint should be read together before a broad social or political interpretation is accepted. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 11, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q7591835. Authority coordinates are 38.855, -90.864. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1883, 1900 and 1913.
Later summaries often reconcile disputed chronology or motive more neatly than the contemporary record permits. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
