Rededication of Dr Cleary School

In 1928, school no. 3 was built in Buena Vista Township and few years later it was dedicated to the Township's MD, Dr. Cleary. In order to bring it up to modern school building codes it was torn down with the entrance being saved. The school was rededicated again to Dr. Cleary.

That is a super cool look for a modern building---what a nice way to save a bit of the town's history. :-)

@5unflow3r Thank you Trina, I was hoping they would have moved the administration to the old building, for them the building standards aren't as hard as they are for students

That's very cool that they were able to preserve the entranceway to the school.

@webfoot Thank yo Paul, when the safe was opened we were there and came across a 1928 teacher's contract

How cool is that?! What a nice history to keep... I love that juxtaposition with the modern building. Old with the new.
