Actually, I think I know where the old Edison school is. That's close to 113 between Edison St. and 113. The building I'm talking about is quite a bit further north almost to the corner of Griswoldm right across from Orchard Ct. A woman I talked to today confirmed that it was once called Lake Avenue School. I don't know if it had any other names before that. ----- Original Message ----- From: "kenneth" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, May 02, 2005 2:01 PM Subject: Re: [OHLORAIN] West Side School Bldg.
