Could you tell me where Gibson School was located? I’ve been told that a residential home on Wauponsee Street used to be a school. I know the home was built in 1924.
Hi Teresa, based on the historic coordinates it appears that the old location for Gibson School is now a field. Latitude: 41.2711436 Longitude: -88.3936767

I imagine its possible they picked up the old schoolhouse and moved it to a lot on Wauponsee Street and then used it as a residence, but I do not, unfortunately, know that for a fact.
Thanks! That does help. 🙂
