The building proper is made of red brick, cement and steel,</div> <div> and is fire proof. It is located just west of the old building and joins it by a large and</div> <div> spacious hall way. The two main entrances are on the south side and in direct line with</div> <div> the main entrance of the old building.</div> <bR> <div> William Rammel of Logansport, was the architect. The plumbing was done by Henry</div> <div> Zellers, of Kewanna, and the wiring and electrical fixtures furnished by Guy Barger of</div> <div> Rochester.

The gymnasium-auditorium, on the first floor, is a</div> <div> room 68 feet by 71 feet, and has a seating capacity of 1,000 people. This room can also</div> <div> be used as a community hall for any public meetings as well as a gymnasium for basket-</div> <div> ball games. The stage is 21 feet by 30 feet on the east of the auditorium, and has two</div> <div> dressing rooms. The two balconies are on the west of the audiorium-gymnasium. The fine</div> <div> large assembly room is on the north side of the second floor, has windows all on the north</div> <div> side, and three large sky lights, thus insuring perfect satisfaction in regard to light.</div> <div>  </div> <div> This now provides the school with 7 large class rooms, (and eventually 3 more) library,</div> <div> laboratory, 2 offices, 4 lavatories, 3 halls, domestic science room, manual training room,</div> <div> auditorium-gymnasium, assembly room, music room, first aid room, shower bath rooms</div> <div> with lockers, etc., for basketball teams and 9 rooms for the grade pupils.</div> <div>  </div> <div> <B>Invitation To All</B></div> <div>  </div> <div> The people of Fulton County are invited and urged to attend these dedication services, and</div> <div> inspect the entire school building which we believe when entirely finished and equipped will</div> <div> be one of the finest school buildings in any town its size in northern Indiana.</div> <bR> <div> [Source: The News-Sentinel - Rochester, Ind. - Oct. 15, 1928]</div> <div> <I>Information discovered and provided by Moo Ingram</I> </div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="12f8c0e70.jpg" border=0 width="448" height="231" ALT="Kewanna School Buildings" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div>   <B>   Kewanna - Union Township Schools - 1937</B></div> <div>  <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#66334C" FACE="Arial" >source: 1937 Klipper(yearbook)</FONT></div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
