    I love historic architecture from the 1920's. I work in a school and especially love to see old…read moreschool buildings that are still standing. I was delighted to find this school in Bonita Springs that is not only still in existence but it is lovingly taken care of and still in operation today. First called Survey, Bonita Springs was first incorporated as a city in 1928. The newly completed Tamiami brought a land boom to the area. The one story portion of this brick school was built in 1921 as a three room schoolhouse. It replaced the towns previous one room schoolhouse. Local oak and cypress lumber were used in the masonry vernacular structure Life in Bonita Springs was rural at this time. A fence was placed around the school to keep the cattle from roaming in. While the building did have indoor plumbing there was no electricity. The first principal was Miss Alma McDonald. There was no lunch program in the 1920's but students were often fed soup made by one of the mothers and milk from the McCormick Family Dairy. It was not unusual for students to attend school barefoot. In 1927 the school was expanded with the addition of a two story building and auditorium. The addition was in the more ornate Mediterranean Revival architectural style that was common from 1915-1930. The separate structures were united in the early 1940's. Up to 1948 the school had a lunchroom with a kitchen. The current dual purpose cafeteria and auditorium was added by 1964. The school was the first building in Bonita Springs to be added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1999. There is a state historic marker that was erected in 2008 displayed in front of the building. This is one of the few examples of a historic school that is still in use today. Obviously the school is currently closed due to the pandemic but it has seen a lot in it's almost 100 years of existence and it will weather this storm too continuing to provide educational learning and a haven to generations of Bonita Springs students.
