Crawford School

Crawford Elementary School at 2579 Third Street was built and opened in 1909.  The school was actually on Tift Street, between Second and Third Streets. Additions to the school were opened in 1917,1950, 1953 and 1959. Crawford was closed in 1969 and sold and razed in 1972. It, too, has been replaced by a high rise apartment building. The school was originally named for Ellen K. Crawford, an outstanding teacher and school board member who was killed the evening of March 2, 1916, as she crossed the railroad tracks on her way to a school board meeting.
