Thanks Randi, I haven't been through the 1920 editions of American Contractor, yet. There is a photo at the Monroe County History Center <http://monroehistory.pastperfect-online.com/30572cgi/mweb.exe?request=image&hex=20060240018.JPG>, 2006.024.0018 <http://monroehistory.pastperfect-online.com/30572cgi/mweb.exe?request=record;id=51418623-49B6-4BE0-B1FF-648007136721;type=102>, that might be the school in question. It fits the bill as described in American Contractor, but it is also similar to schools in Clear Creek and Sanders that were designed by Bedford architect O.L. Hill in 1929. Does anyone know if this school is still standing? The following link appears to be a reference to the fire that necessitated the rebuild: http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/inmonroe/2013-09/1379509688-04 Bill Coulter On Sun, Jul 27, 2014 at 7:52 AM, Randi Richardson via <inmonroe@rootsweb.com > wrote: > > > American Contractor, Vol. 41, April 24, 1920, p. 76-77. > > > > Bloomington, Ind.-School (fire rebid.): $60,000. 1sty. & Bas. 65x75. > Harrodsburg.
