Gustavus GU ST!-XV U 5 Ernest C.Gray Sup Gustavus Building and School Board Gustavus township was centralized in 1897 and the school building, a wooden structure for this township, the first centralized township in the state of Ohio, was built in 1898. This building was replaced in 1928 by a fire-proof brick structure. The new building has twelve home and recitations rooms, two rest rooms, library room, Office rooms, a large stage and Auditorium with a seating capacity of five hundred. The building has all modern conven- iences and we may rightly say Gustavus is proud of her School Building.
