The Baldwin-Whitehall Patch has partnered with the Baldwin Historical Society to bring you a weekly trivia question that delves into our area's colorful past.
Pat Lombardi and Patty Woehler, co-presidents of the society, generously write the questions and provide the pictures.
Here is this week's question:
Back-to-school time is pretty much here.
And in honor of that, this is a picture of an elementary school built in 1904 in then-Baldwin Township.
The school was built with two rooms, and the principal at one time was Elizabeth Bagshaw, who taught and served as the principal at many of Baldwin's schools.
There were three teachers at this school, and at one time, the enrollment was 82 pupils ranging from kindergarten to second grade.
The building is still standing.
What was the name of this school?

CC,
Let's ask Pat Lombardi to chime in. But since the place is still standing, would it be the Lafferty Center now?
