174. South Ward School in Winchester, Now A City Park, 2019.
July 11, 1956
The South Ward School was on Orange Street across from the Stone mansion. Today it's a city park, on the corner of S. Main and Orange, 2019. In 1908, Goodrich Bros. Co. bought the school and tore it down. The heavy timbers were salvaged, the brick were cleaned and then used to add buildings to their elevator on North Main St.
