I think my Dad went to Plumb School in the 1930's.
Is this school still in use and are there any pics available?

I was by there yesterday. My brother & sister went there, but I was too young. I went to Greeley instead. The school has been torn down & a multi-family one story residence has been built there. There are no more railroad tracks behind the school location. My brother & his buddies would get on a garage nearby & jump on to the railroad cars.
After it closed. (mid to late 50s?) it was used as an apartment house. Over the years it caught fire several times & finally had to be torn down.
John can provide you with the dates & maybe a photo or two.
I do have one picture,but I don't have the ability or desire to buy a scanner that could convert it to a digital picture to post here.

This school was located on the NE corner of Sterling and Livingston Streets. It closed sometime in the early 60s. It was then used as a shop for a heating and electrical contractor. Then by 1970 it was turned into apartments. It later burned and was destroyed. The building was demolished and a new, single story apartment building was built on the site.

I went there from 1959-1961, K-2nd grade, so it would have been closed, as a school after that. I didn't move back to Streator until about 1966, so I don't know when it happened, as being young and not living near-by ....  |

I do believe your graduated a few years ahead of me. They may have changed the boundaries? I lived about a blk. S & E of the school, on Lundy St. |

I lived at Lundy & Vermillion Blue. We moved in 1955. I would have started kindergarten there. I ended up @ Greeley instead.
