Demolition of Parker School
-
Description
-
Three views of the demolition of Parker School on August 19, 1971, in Grinnell, Iowa. Parker School was built on the southeast corner of Spring Street and Sixth Avenue and named for Professor L.F. Parker, the school district's first superintendent and author of the two-volume History of Poweshiek County, Iowa. An Oberlin graduate, he taught, by himself, all classes from primary through high school during the first year. Parker School replaced the Northwest School , which had been built at the same location in 1882 and was destroyed by fire. As the years progressed the facility became outdated and failed to meet recommended standards. Parker's site area was only 1.2 acres and with an enrollment of 149 students in 1961-62 fell far short of the optimum site area of 6.5 acres. When constructed, it was on the outskirts of town, but the growth of residential areas caused its location to become outmoded and the fact that it was situated on U.S. Highway 6 created safety questions. In 1970 the School Board decided to demolish the building at the end of the school year. The building and land were sold at public auction for $24,000 (Grinnell Herald Register, August 19, 1971) and the building was razed on August 19.
