The
Union School Early
in 1865 the fine Union school building on east Main Street was commenced,
and pushed toward completion through that and the following year; but it
was not until 1867—68 that it was entirely finished, its total cost
being about $25,000. It is a brick structure, 60x74, three stories in
height, and contains eleven rooms. In 1878 the west side building was
erected, likewise made of brick, containing eight rooms, at a cost of some
$10,000. It is pleasantly located, and is used at present as the
High-school building.
