Edison School

Edison School is noted for its experimental design which incorporated windows located near the ceiling on three sides of the classrooms in an attempt to provide uniform, diffused light and improved ventilation.  Dr. R.W. Corwin, originator of the design, served on the local school board for 44 years.
