Named in the 1879 county history

The history of Lorain County was published 9 years before the first of these atlases, and it names this establishment.

The present district-schools of Amherst, and the public schools of North Amherst, compare favorabl}' with those of otlier places of similar size. Passing from the mention of tlie smaller district and sub-district-schools, we will follow the growth that ha.s created the present school of North Amherst village. It was not long before tlie accommodations of tlie old school-houses, with their rough slab seats with pegs driven in them for legs, were found insufficient for the growing needs of the community. The old town-liall, a frame building twenty-five by thirty-five feet in dimensions, was used as a school-house until 184!), when it was removed to its present location, on Clnirch street.

Provenance

Read by machine from the printed index of the Sanborn fire insurance atlases of Oberlin, Ohio, held by the Library of Congress. Sanborn atlases published before 1930 are in the public domain. Only names that at least three of four independent readings agreed on are published, and no spelling has been corrected: what appears here is what the recogniser returned from the ink.
