Jackson
Elementary School
The Warren Avenue Building, renamed Jackson School
in 1920, became the Administration Building when the new Jackson
School on Smith Street was dedicated in 1965. The building has
been sold.
It was the first brick school building constructed
in Niles in 1893. The bell tower and front entrance were simplified.
A front addition to the building allowed for additional students
and classrooms after being remodeled in 1911.
In the 1990's, the building was sold and still
stands empty.
