NORWOOD SCHOOLS

The Allison Elementary building was constructed in 1896 at 4300 Allison Ave. In 1901 the school opened a high school (building on right) in an old building that was already on the property. In 1914 the elementary school took over the high school for extra classroom space. The old house burned in 1917 and a new 12-room structure was built for the elementary school.
