LIGHTSTREET ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

The above photograph of the Lightstreet Elementary School built in 1892 was on Center Street, one block west of the old Lightstreet Road (the main street through the village). It had two rooms with the first, second, third and fourth grade students using the classroom on the east side of the building. The four other classes, fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth, were in the room on the west side. Starting in 1930 the seventh and eighth grade students went to school at Espy. A decade later the school closed with all the children attending the Espy elementary school.

The school in 1941 became the home for the Lightstreet Community Fire Company after making some changes in the building which is still used today.
