The Second Wilsonville School
This was the second Wilsonville Grade School. It was built around 1912 and featured two rooms, which could become one large room by the removal of the sliding partition between the rooms. School meetings or assemblies requiring a larger hall were often held across the street in the Methodist Episcopal Church's meeting room. It was built on the same land as was the first Wilsonville Grade School. The teachers pictured here are Helen Murray and Cora Hasselbrink. The third girl from the right is Maureen Brown (Neuberger) who later became the first woman U.S. Senator from Oregon. She and her husband were the first married couple to ever have served in legislatures at the same time. This is #18 on the Wilsonville historic map |
