Poland Building

Poland Building

In 1922 the school board leased from Meyer D. Poland “the large room, on the second story, on the northerly side, in the new building at the corner of Broad and Main Streets…” for two years for a sum of $750 with an option to extend for three years.  A suitable entrance to the room and heat was to be furnished by Mr. Poland.  The school board would provide furnishings, toilets at the rear of the building and would be “liable for any accidents happing to its scholars”.   It is not
known if the lease was extended beyond two years.
