Lincoln+School



"In 1909 an additional school, Lincoln, was built on North Main Street to ease the pressure resulting from higher enrollments (at Central School)."1 The building was on the corner of Main and University avenue. It was replaced by the brick building you see below, in 1938, as a WPA project. The brick building burned in 1970, and is now a dorm on Pacific University campus (bottom most picture).
