Gilmore School (Public School No. 7)
Dublin Core
Title
Gilmore School (Public School No. 7)
Description
Calls have been made for over a decade for a new school to serve the city's Ironton district before Public School No. 7 opens in 1926. It is not named "Gilmore" school right away; as late as 1933 it is known only by its number, or "the new Ironton school."
When the school reopens for 1932, it is filled to capacity. Principal Kenneth G. McLean says the sixth grade will temporarily have to use Ironton School No. 2 as a result.
The school is enlarged in 1957.
