Scope and content
Grant School. Overcrowded almost as soon as it opened, the wood framed Grant School, 1018 North Prospect, opened in 1900. It was named in honor of Ulysses S. Grant, Civil War general and President of the United States. In 1920 a brick building was erected at the same site with the intention of removing the 1900 portion. It was not until 1955, when the present Grant School was constructed, that the oldest section of the school was removed. (Olsen: For the Record, p. 79-80)
