Highrise Tower Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Found a photo of the Allen School located on Elgin Street and Chenevert Street. Charlotte M. Allen School was the first school in Houston to have a woman principal. The first to be named for a woman, it was the first to start a modern kindergarten; and it was the first elementary school in the city to establish manual training, and domestic science departments. The Allen School property was given to the city by Jesse H. Jones in 1906, at which tie the name of Charlotte M. Allen, wife of A.C. Allen, one of Houston's founders, was chosen for the new school. The school opened in February 1907. Lila M. Baugh was the school principal. *Note the different address in the thread title. I could never find an exact address for this building. Looking on Google Maps, Houston Academy for International Studies is in the exact same spot as the old, now demolished, Charlotte M. Allen School- 1810 Stuart Street. Edit: The address is 1810 Elgin Ave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highrise Tower Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 In 1906, an advertisement for the residential subdivision Edgewood featured a drawing of the Edgewood School Building. Looks like the original name of the Allen School was Edgewood School? I also see that the Edgewood School was a few blocks away from the old Allen School site. O.J. Lorehn, Architect.
