It’s time for back-to-school #ThrowbackThursday!

Students line up in a school hallway to put on their coats at the end of the day in this 7 1/2″ x 9 1/2″ black and white photograph. Boys and girls stand in separate lines to go to their respective coat rooms. The hallway has a hardwood floor and wooden wainscoting on the walls. A sink and a trashcan off to one side of the hall. Kellom School was located at 23rd and Paul Streets. The original building opened in 1892. This building was replaced by the current Kellom Elementary School in 1952, at the same location.
