These two small portable buildings made up Larchmont Elementary School in 1928. Parents in the Larchmont area had asked for a school in their neighborhood as far back as 1915 as they felt Fern Hill School was not within walking distance for small children. In 1920 the School Board authorized purchase of 2 1/2 acres of land near South 96th & B Streets for $2000 and placed one portable on the property. Another portable and a second teacher were added in 1924 due to increased enrollment. Larchmont was closed in 1932 during the Great Depression and reopened in 1935 only as a primary school, serving grades one through three. It closed again in 1939 and structures removed. The school opened once again in 1953, again in portables, but it was not until 1969 when a new "one-room" school was built at 8601 East B. G46.1-095 (Olsen: For the Record, p. 117-118-article)

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)
