Bluffton High School 1911

Posted by Fred Steiner on April 22, 2019 - 11:30am

You don't need to be ancient to recognize this building. But, you do have to be nearly 35 (at the youngest) to recognize it.

This is the 1911 Bluffton High School building. This photograph was taken before the current "old section of the high school" was even in the dream stage.

Where was it? Stand at the St. John's United Church of Christ corner of College Avenue and Jackson Street and gaze toward the current high school.

Somewhere in the mist, you'll see it.

Kibler Street - early 1950s

Posted by Fred Steiner on April 15, 2019 - 10:53am

It was spring in the early 1950s when this aerial photo of new homes on West Kibler Street was taken. Riley Creek overflowed its banks, washing was on the line to dry and no vehicles were on the street. The Motter farm extended just to the edge of the curve in street. Several homes now located here were yet to be constructed. An alley acutally exists and appears to be used.
