The Romanian Hall, Ilasco Baptist Mission Church and Ukrainian Orthodox Church basement were also used for public schools in different years during the early 1900's.

None of the school building are currently standing. The foundation for the high school is still in the wooded area south of the Methodist Church, but nothing else. My photo of the foundation was destroyed by a misguided cup of coffee.

The upstairs consisted of three classrooms and the principals office; half of the basement was used as a classroom, the remainder for restroom facilities and the coal fired furnace." ~ Hannibal Free Public Library Additional point: Not Listed
