Little Meadows Nursery School (white buildings)
From Louise M Dixon's obituary:
In 1959, Mrs. Dixon started Little Meadows Nursery School by converting a former warehouse and factory building. It was a neighborhood effort too, her son said. A farmer who could weld helped. Early teachers came from the area.
The school in the early 1980s had more than 200 students divided between half-day sessions and 15 teachers. Children could swing on an indoor swing set and climb on a model dinosaur outdoors. The school had child-sized farm animals for the students to feed and pet and observe - chicks hatched from eggs incubated onsite; rabbits, ponies, a donkey or two, goats.
Note: The only thing I can find about the former factory was that Frank Madore owned a house there in 1949. The factory buildings are there by 1955.
