LE MARS OLDEST SCHOOL BUILDING TO BE WRECKED
Clark School Erected in 1883 and 1884

The new grade school house on First Avenue NW will be ready for use with the
opening of the fall term and the school board will receive bids July 20 for
wrecking the old building.

The Clark school was erected in 1883-84 and is the oldest school building
now in use in LeMars. It cost $12,000 and estimates secured four year ago
placed its replacement cost at $44,000. After a half century it was valued
for insurance at more than its original cost. It had reached the point where
it required expensive repairs almost every year, it could not be made
fireproof or completely modernized and the board decided to take advantage
of an offered PWA grant to replace it with a one-story modern and fireproof
school building which is now completed and being furnished.

The Clark school was built seven or eight years later than the old
three-story high school building, which was torn down about thirty-five
years ago, when the present main high school building was erected on the
same site.

In the early 70s school was held in several buildings in town, one of the
first locations being a frame school on Third Street SE on the present site
of the Ideker residence.
