Parkville School
The white building is Parkville School located at 777 Baltimore St.
This photo was taken from the top of the hill where the entrance to Forest Park used to be. This location is now the entrance to South Hanover Shopping Center. This view is looking north toward town. In background is Mt. Olivet Cemetery-which was next to the Parkville School.
The school building later became Woodie Bowman's Restaurant. The building was torn down about 1978. Bob Morris Furniture Store now sits on school property.
