I just finished restoring this photo of my dad (grade 1) and my uncle (grade 2) from 1950. My dad is in the last row, 4th seat back, and my uncle is in the 3rd row, 5th seat back.
There is another one I am still working on with another uncle who was in the combined grades 3 & 4 classroom.
I didn't find a lot of information on the "Golden School" except for the following location information:
It appears this is the old schoolhouse building on N. Monroe Street that is just south of the Mall of Monroe.
I love the stove with pipe in the back of the classroom, and the Valentine's Day decorations on the wall.
Because this was a large sized photo, it is difficult to see the scratches, creases, and tears in the original photo. I am really happy with how it turned out.
