Clara B. Arthur Elementary School

10125 King Richard Street

Detroit, Michigan

Aaron H. Gould designed the Clara B. Arthur Elementary School.  The school was built in 1930 and was closed in 2005.  During the time that the school was open it was an elementary school, a middle school and a defense shelter.  Unfortunately it is now boarded up and is on the market to be sold by the DPS.  The school was named after Clara B. Arthur who was a suffragist in the Detroit area during the 1800's and early 1900's.  In addition to women's rights, she also fought to improve the lives of children.   She was known as "a great Detroiter, a great American and a great woman."

 

I want to thank Andy Baetz, Bruce Getzan, Kerry Krause and Grant Mac Donald for all of their help in pulling together the names of our classmates and teachers.  I could never have done this on my own.  If anyone sees a misspelling, correction or addition that they would like me to make, please contact me via my classmate profile on denby64.com or my regular email, karin.fisch2@gmail.com

April, 2016 -  Jim Potter, Kerry Albertson Krause and Andy Batez met for lunch and had their own mini reunion.  They are hoping to plan another lunch date and perhaps more classmates can join them!

 

This photo was taken in front of the King Richard entrance to Arthur Elementary, sometime in the 50's.  The lady on the far right is Mrs. Lucille E. Wareham, Principal and the lady next to her is Mrs. Ethel Gordon, Assistant Principal.  Does anyone recognize the other two women?  Photo was supplied by Ron DeRiemacker, a member of the class of 1956 or 1957.
