It was built by the Presbyterian", Presbyteri-an", and was used by them as their church for a number of years. Then it had a belfry and the children of the town used to enjoy listening to the ringing of the bell. We next hear of it as a furniture store operated by a Mr. Daley and we are thrilled to go there with our parents to select new pieces of furniture. When Mr. Daley retired re-tired from business the school board of the city bought the building from the Dinwoody Furniture company of Salt Lake City, and it was known for a while as the Dinwoody school. The people of the town did not like the name Dinwoody for the school, so the name was changed to Park school in honor of Dr. John R. Park, who was at that time State Superintendent of Public Instruction. When it was no longer needed as a school building, it was purchased by the Third Ward Relief Society who still own it. |
