Summary
[edit]Description1927 - 1851 photo of first school in Allentown PA.jpg |
English: 1851 photo of first school in Allentown PA. This historic photo was published in the Morning Call in August, 1927. It is an 1851 photograph of the first public school in Allentown, called the "Mingo School".
The building dated to August, 1837 on a tract of land purchased for $50 to accommodate the pupils from the eastern part of the borough at Walnut and Union Streets, along Front Street. The first teacher was hired in 1838. By 1841, three of the six teachers in the ASD were women. In 1858, a larger school was built on Turner Street, just to the west of Eighth Street. That later became Allentown's first high school, later Central Junior High School and now Central Elementary School. The tall poles you see in the photo are for early telegraph lines. |
