TOM GLOVER'S HAMILTON LIBRARY SCRAPBOOK: LOCAL HISTORY WITH A PERSONAL TOUCH.

THE OLD PENNINGTON SCHOOL AS IT IS TODAY

********************
The graphic below shows the old Pennington School as it looked in 1916. The photo above was taken by my friend Bob Cherry and shows the building as it looks today. See Bob's message below.

I found the part about the Federal City School to be quite interesting. I looked in vain for the blinking red "stop" light on that vintage horse-drawn bus. Perhaps a Penningtonian can tell me if the school shown in the graphic still exists.

This grapic was previously published with a request that an informed Penningtonian could tell us if the old school was still in existance. Thanks to Bob Cherry, an old friend of mine from the amateur radio fraternity, we have an answer. THANKS, BOB. Herewith Bob's email:

Hi tom, haven’t heard you on the air lately.

This school building referenced in your blog still exists but has been converted into condo’s. The old school building and surrounding playground has become a condo development.

I believe it was sometime in the 20’s that a new Grammar school was built on S. Main Street and this school became the Primary school. I started my education there, Kindergarten through 3^rd grade, I remember it well.
