The building had four rooms
and was of brick construction.
Only the two lower rooms were
completed. The rooms were heated
by large sheet iron stoves. On
windy days the flames shot out
the stove door as far as three
feet making it hazardous. The
school acquired the name of
the "old fire trap" from the firemen,
as it caused them to make many
trips.

There were no lights of any
kind in the school. The grounds
were fenced in with an iron
gate at the front entrance. The
grounds in the rear of the
school were divided into playgrounds
by a high board fence. The
boys played on the north side
and the girls on the south side.

A few years later the upper
rooms were finished and two
portable buildings were added
in 1902. This was for the
higher grade children who had
been going to #4 and #41.
