Description
In the early 1900's Warren Williams donated land on the SW corner of Maine and Center streets for a new elementary school for the new river district. The school was awood building painted blue on what was called the fire house corner as a firehouse was just behind this new school. Realizing Maine St was not a safe place for the children to play, the school was shut down and West End School was built. The school building was then moved to carson street where it was used by W.C. Black as the Standard newspaper office. Then it was used as Fallon's City hall and finally moved to 405 S.Maine street as a part of the VFW building. was blue
