EDISON SCHOOL

National Register 06/19/1985, 5PE.4215

A multi-purpose central building and two single classroom “unit school houses” were constructed in 1909. Two more “units” and a four classroom building were added in 1923.  Edison School is noted for its experimental design which incorporated windows located near

the ceiling on three sides of the classrooms in an attempt to provide uniform, diffused light and improved ventilation. Dr. R.W. Corwin, originator of the design, served on the local school board for 44 years.
