This is now exclusively a girls' school , and is located in a fine large twelve class building, on the school lot on Silver street, near Second street. It has five hundred and sixty-two girls in attendance. This school was instituted on the 8th of January, 1852, in a small one-story building near the corner of Folsom and First streets. It was transferred from this dilapidated structure to a large rented building on Hampton place, leading from Folsom to Harrison streets, and near Third street. The present building for the Silver Street Primary School, on Vassar place, leading from Harrison street, between Second and Third streets, was erected for this school in 1861. It was transferred to it in 1861, where it has remained until it was transferred to the present building, in September 1875. It was first organized as a mixed grammar school for boys and girls, but in January, 1865, the sexes were separated, and the boys were transferred to Lincoln School (note- I have already posted the sketch on Lincoln School) The following teachers have been Principals of this school: Silas WESTON, elected Jany 28, 1852 Wm.
