Education Building, circa 1955

This image shows the northern side of the Education Building, built 1925, at Appalachian State Teachers College (1929-1967). A traffic light can be seen in the foreground. First built as Boone Grade School, the building housed Appalachian Elementary School, otherwise known as the Demonstration Elementary School, from 1925 to 1954, when it was moved to Whitener Hall. The Demonstration School was a joint effort between Watauga County Schools and Appalachian State, wherein Watauga County elementary school students would be taught by Appalachian State teachers and students. The school existed from the mid-1920s until 1975. The Education Building was demolished in the late 1960s and was in the current location of the second Belk Library, built 2005.
