Cedar
Street School Renamed Lincoln Elementary School.
Built in 1896, this picture shows the Cedar Street
School and the addition that was completed in 1905. The school
was renamed Lincoln in 1920 and in 1956 the new Lincon Elementary
School opened on Frederick Street. The Cedar Street School was
razed and a neighborhood playground was built on the land.
Picture of Cedar Street School taken 1904-5 school

Arbor
Day at Lincoln School in the 1930s.
As told by: Gino Spalvieri
It was reported that the entire student population
and teachers went outside and made a circle around the custodian,
Mr. Walton. He had just finished digging a hole for the
young maple tree. However, before he planted the tree, he placed
a large paste jar in the hole. In the jar were the names of the
students and teachers. This paste jar became Cedar (Lincoln) school’s
time capsule.
Cedar Street School was built in 1896 with an
addition added on in 1905. Renamed Lincoln School in 1920 and
it was razed in 1956. During those years many children attended
the school which was located between Cedar and Cherry Streets.
It’s hard to imagine a school building so large on the space
we can see today as a vacant lot (1956-2021). Today, there are
single-family homes built in 2022 on this site. The tree, a silver
maple, still stands straight and tall in the southwest corner
of the lot.
