V -, HE Old Central Building. weather beaten and I worn, is passing its seventieth year of se1'vice. During its long life thousands of children from the grades to graduation have passed through those familiar halls and friendly class-rooms. The per- sonalities of a multitude of young people. future citizens, have been enriched by contact with under- standing teachers in this impressive building and dear friendships formed here have lasted a life- time. Vine covered and crumbling. it possesses a certain stateliness which increases with the years. Surrounded by play grounds and well kept lawns. it stands sentinel like-fa pioneer of Kendallville schools. This venerable building is slowly aging. The ravages of time are overwhelming this land- mark. Its days are numbered. Thus it seems ap- propriate that its history be reviewed in this edi- tion of the Kay Aitch Ess. During the Civil War, the wooden school house, predecessor of the old high school or seminary as it was called. was used as a hospital for soldiers with smallpox. As the popular sentiment was against using the building again for school pur- poses, a secret attempt was made to destroy it by fire in the summer ot' 1863. The blaze was discov- ered soon after and little damage was done. But one evening that fall that three story frame struc- ture caught fire mysteriously, and was burned to the ground by a spectacular conflagration. As the cost of a new structure would be very great. expenses were partially defrayed by public subscription. John Mitchell, an early settler, was the largest contributor to this fund, which amounted to about 37.000, As the total cost of the building from basement to belfry was Sli-10.000, bonds were issued for the balance of the expenses. While the new building was being constructed. school sessions were conducted in the Presbyterian, Baptist. and Disciples tnow the Church of Christi churches. and the Town Hall. One of the interest- ing bits of gossip whispered about this new build- ing was that the contractor, James Colgrove. saved 1?l enough bricks to erect the elegant mansion on the southwest corner of YVater and Silver streets. However that may be, the new school when completed in 1864 was one of the finest structures in northern Indiana and assuredly the most beauti- ful building in Kendallville. It measured eighty- one by sixty-one feet and its three floors contained thirteen class rooms. All the arches over the win- dows and doors were constructed of Indiana lime- stone. The adjoining grounds were made beauti- ful by sodding lawns and planting trees. lln the picture. note the smallness of the trees on the campus in comparison to their present size.J Around the school grounds a neat picket fence was set up. Toward the east a pond was located on the site of the present high school and some residents can recall shooting ducks on it years ago. Grade children occupied rooms on the first and second floors and High School Students the third. The Assembly Hall occupied the west half of this floor. Here sat the Juniors and the Seniors. The two rooms across the hall were filled with Fresh- men and Sophomores. Every Monday and Friday afternoons an as- sembly was held. Their assembly was similar to Page 18
