Clinton League Memory Book
Description: Photograph identified as Clinton Elementary School, about 1915. This school, built in 1895, replaced an original red brick building on the site at Clinton Heights Avenue and North High Street. It served as the primary school for Clintonville children from its construction until it was replaced with a larger building in 1922. This yellow brick building also served as the Clinton Township High School from 1897 through 1905, when a secondary building was built to house high school pupils for the township. 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.
