| Additional Information: | GABLED PROJECTING ENTRY W/BARGE BOARDS. Ceased being used as a school in 1957. The firehouse was added in the 1960s and city hall in 1987. 2002: This school was constructed in 1929 as a replacement to a small, wooden structure. Research revealed little other information about the school except that it was closed in 1957 when a larger facility was built near the intersection of Stocks Drive and Genesee Street. The City of Delafield began to use the building as a city hall when it incorporated in 1959. The city constructed the fire hall additon shortly thereafter and the city hall/library addition in 1987. The fenestration of the original block appears to have been replaced at that time. |
