' The old room, built in the early sixties. Is In itself a place of historic his-toric Interest According to Infor mation gained from surviving pioneers, pio-neers, William West, Annie Holman, and from old residents, J. L. Harvey, Har-vey, Rose Hayes, and Joseph Adams, Ad-ams, the buQding was planned by an English architect, Henry Green-alch, Green-alch, who also did much of ; the carpentry work. The plastering was done by David West, father of William Wil-liam West Many of the adobes used In the construction were from the old fort school house which stood on the property now owned by Mrs. William Bobbins on State street and which burned in 1860. Samuel S. White was the school board member at the time the school was built His daughter, Mary West remembers going toddling toddl-ing along with her father that late fall when he went at nights to see that the fires were kept going, so the new plastering would not freeze. Because of the difficulty of erecting erect-ing scaffolds, which' had to be made by driving poles into the ground for supports, the plastering was done on the high celling before the floor was laid. Sand was filled in between be-tween the floor joists to deaden the sound. In the vaulted ceilings, another an-other attempt was made to Improve accoustlc properties of the building. The school house at first was Just one room (the west one). It had an entrance hall at the west end. The stove sat at that end also, and the pipe ran across the room near the celling to a chimney at the east end. to throw out as much heat as possible. The place was a recreation center as well as a school. Many line plays were produced there by the Pleasant Grove dramatic association, associa-tion, of which Mary West ls one of the few surviving members. As the population increased it was necessary to provide more school room, so the middle room was built and connected with the orig inal one with large sliding doors, which made it possible to have entertainments en-tertainments and assemblies there. In the early eighties, the east division di-vision was added. At this time few written records were kept, except by the school trustees. An old account- book -kept -by J, 'I Harvey; trustee when the last addition was made, revealed the fact that J.' L. Brown, son of John. Brown, " was principal at a salary of $70 per month. ' He was assisted by May RobLson andJ. E.J3ally, and for the ihWbwmby ATeSwern." The salaries were paid mostly, from tuition 'paid by' each student tothe-trustee. tothe-trustee.
