1909: The New Rosalie Kuser School

Did you know that Kuser and Klockner schools started out as "twins?" Well, they did! Klockner still maintains the architecture you see here on the original Kuser as it looked on opening day, 1909. In 1924, "wings" were added to each side of Kuser to accommodate an increase in the population of the Kuser area.
