Clintonville School in 1895   Save
Clinton League Memory Book
Description: Photograph showing Clintonville School, ca. 1895, which replaced an original red brick building on the site. An accompanying caption indicates that this building, located at Clinton Heights Avenue and North High Street, was also the Clinton Township High School from 1897 through 1905, until a secondary building was built to house high school pupils for the township. Principles of the high school were W.M. Waltemire (2 years) and A.C. Fries (5 years). This image was included in a "Memory Book" compiled by Mrs. H. V. Cottrell, historian for the Clinton League (sometimes called the Clinton Welfare League) from 1938-1943. The book shows the development of the Clintonville neighborhood of Columbus, Ohio, and records the history of the League. The Clinton League was a women's group founded in 1912 to promote child welfare and later general welfare in Columbus, but which was based in and primarily focused on the area of Clintonville.
