The City of Alliance and Alliance City Schools collaborated to receive a grant that will assist with the cost of the demolition of North Lincoln, which has been used as storage for the district for nearly a decade. 

\r\n

The former elementary school has a long and proud history of educating young Aviators and adults in Alliance. Built in 1914, the building housed students in Kindergarten through fifth grade until 2003. North Lincoln contained 16 classrooms in total. It later became the location of the Alliance Career Center and the Robert T. White School of Practical Nursing.

\r\n

“Countless Aviators have positive memories that came from the North Lincoln school building,” said Superintendent Rob Gress. “We recognize that for many people,  it’s sad to see historical buildings like this come to the end of their life span, so we are dedicated to keeping its legacy and memory alive. We are working with several partner groups to make sure we recognize and memorialize the contribution and history of the school.”

\r\n

Unfortunately, with the deterioration of the building, the public will not be able to walk the building before the demolition takes place in a couple months. However, a small group of Kent State architecture students will be granted access to create detailed drawings of the building and record its history.

\r\n

When the demolition takes place, the district plans to offer a limited number of bricks for community members to take as keepsakes. More information about this will be shared closer to the time of demolition.
