07026.ED – Shown in this 1930’s photo are students from Mechanicstown Colored School. The school closed in 1934. Mrs. Elsie Clinton was the teacher at the time it closed. It was built in 1891 on land which John Myers sold to the Charles Town District Board of Education. At the time of the closure, the teacher and the students were transferred to the Eagle Avenue School in Charles Town. The building still stands on privately owned property on Route 9 south.
