Английская Википедия:Center School (Southwest Allen County Schools)
Center School,[1] sometimes called the Old Center School,[2] is a historic one-room schoolhouse in Allen County, Indiana. It was built in 1893 at the center of Aboite Township, and became the foundation of Southwest Allen County Schools.[2]
Center School was closed in 1946, as a part of Indiana's increased consolidation of small schools, but in 1969, a new teacher was instated with the official title of schoolmarm, and it was reopened as a site for history classes.[1]
Originally constructed at what is now the intersection between Homestead Road and Aboite Center Road, in June 1993 the building was physically relocated eastward along Aboite Center by three-tenths of a mile, and was restored in the summer of 1995.[1] The restoration won the 1995 Archie Award from the Arch Foundation.[1][2]
Center School is built of local brick, and has a slate roof with copper ridge caps. The interior features arches and oak woodwork, which, along with the floor, have been restored. The structure is topped with a copper-capped belfry, the likeness of which is used as the logo of Southwest Allen County Schools.[1]
