The last class of students to use the building as a school was in 1962.

"The question is how the people who are going to use the building feel about being here," he said on his own tour.

The state and the city worked out an agreement for the museum to use the old building.

They moved quickly the rest of the way up the street, using buildings for cover.

He cited as a reason that not many people are using the building.

That first class used the building for four years as it was being completed.

Community programs, including a soup kitchen, use the new building today.

The school still uses the building for its home basketball games.

By 1916, the older students had to return to using the original building to make room for the increasing student population.

A service club also used the building as a meeting venue.
