Merrill School - Merrill, OR - Former Schools on Waymarking.com

The only information I could locate on the history of this former school was from the City of Merrill website. This school replaced a prior one that burned down in one of a number of fires that hit Merrill in the early 1900s. A paragraph reads:

On November 29, 1949, the elementary school burned down. It had been buit out of brick in 1911 and for many years housed classes for grades 1-12. Later, a new high school was constructed on Front Street, servicing elementary level students. In tradition of rebirth, begun in 1911 with Merrill's first major fire, the school was soon rebuilt and new building was dedicated on January 25, 1951.

I live in nearby Klamath Falls and remember students attending school here as late as the early 1990s. If/when I find other information on this school's background, I'll add it here.
