The
Lincoln School was constructed in 1893 on 36 acres of land situated
on North Hill. It was a four-room, two-story brick building
with wooden stairs. In 1926 four more rooms were added.
All rooms had an outside entrance or exit by way of a fire escape.
It was in 1945 that a fire broke out caused by an overheated furnace.
The damage was minor. At this time, there was an enrollment
of 168 pupils and six teachers. Miss Emily Diday was principal
at Lincoln for eleven years before it was closed in June 1961.
