Description
An account of the resource
<span><span>Designed by architects Johnstone & Eggert, Ironton Public School #2 opens in 1889 at the corner of 1st Ave and Oliver Street (present-day Elizabeth Harvey Apartments / Olmsted Center for Sight). From <em><a href="http://www.nthistory.com/items/show/608">Tonawanda and North Tonawanda: The Lumber City</a></em> (1891):</span></span>
<blockquote>The rapid growth of North Tonawanda in the Ironton district, together with the crowded condition for the union school, demanded increased facilities, and on November 15, 1888, $10,000 was voted to build an edifice in that locality. The amount was increased to $15,000 and the building erected in 1889 is of modern design, and well adapted to school use.</blockquote>
<span>By 1915 the school is overcrowded, and forced to rent rooms across the street to hold kindergarten. In 1926 Ironton Public School #7 (later known as <a href="http://www.nthistory.com/collections/show/7">Gil</a></span><span class="text_exposed_show"><a href="http://www.nthistory.com/collections/show/7">more School</a>) is built to accomodate demand. <br /><br />The Ironton School building is later used as a vocational school (its students and equipment were moved to the new BOCES on Saunders Settlement Rd c.1970). It is briefly considered for the NiaCAP Headstart before being privately purchased to store cars. After years of neglect it is demolished. </span>
