Farrell Schools - The Early Days |

Our Schools May we turn back in our thought to the Fall of 1901 when the first school building was erected at Wallis and French Streets, and was called the North Side School. This building, with a two-room frame building on Spearman Avenue, near Haywood Street, housed the equipment of our first schools.
These schools were followed by the erection of the Central School, now named the Washington Building, which is located on Wallis Avenue, near Haywood Street. In 1907, the contract was let for the erection of a new high school building. - H. S. Bovard President of the Board of Education Farrell School System, 1927

One of the Early Farrell School Buildings The first school buildings of the borough were costly enough and modern enough and adequately equipped so as to be considered among the best of the kind in the county. The South School and the North School buildings, which were completed in 1903, are still used and are high-class examples of school architecture.
