Photo 49-ACO-17

Comments

This was the Oakland Grade School. It housed 1-8 grades and was closed in 1963 when Oakland consolidated with Hindsboro, IL. We all loved the "tube slide" fire escape the left side of the building. I was in 4th grade when it closed.

I'm not sure when it was torn down, however a nice housing development is in that location now.
