Description: Photograph of Victor Mill School building featuring rows of students and teachers in front.

A handwritten note on the back of the item identifies Victor School as having been erected in 1904-1905 and burned in 1923.

Note by C. Don Walls on the original gift form: "Victor Elementary School was built in 1905 for the children living in the Victor mill village. In 1923 the school burned and the feeling was that the cause was due to a faulty furnace. Woodrow Phillips who lives on 18th St. said that he was in the 1st grade when the school burned. The principal was Miss Frances Wideman. There were grades 1-7. He also said that the back of the school was located in the back yard of the house where he now lives."
