The
images above are of the Lakeside School that
was built in 1904 on the current site at 709 S. College.
In February of 1926, the citizens of Pittsburg voted
$450,000 in bonds to build three new schools, one of
them being a new $295,000 building on the site of Lakeside
School that would include both Lakeside Elementary and
Lakeside Junior High. The new school was designed by
the C. A. Smith Architectural Firm from Kansas City.
In 1980, Lakeside Junior High was consolidated with Roosevelt
Junior High in the old high school building at Fourteenth
and Broadway as the Pittsburg Middle School, grades 6
to 8. The 1926 building was added onto in 2003 and is
still houses Lakeside Elementary School. . |
