The following photo, taken in "April 1921", is of the students of the District 1 school house in Eliot, Maine, which was located on Goodwin Road. The students are all numbered in the picture, with a corresponding list of names written on the back of the image. The numbering system is off, though, as the teacher was not numbered on the photo, but was so on the back. The female students are also misnumbered, as the list had restarted at #1 with their names, while the picture writing continued the numbering following the boys in the back row.

MORE ABOUT: The school for District 1 was in operation from 1810 to 1934, and was torn down in the 1940's [Eliot: Images of America, pg 78 - a photo of this school can be found on this page]. A private residence, built in 1989, now occupies this lot. |

This undated photo came with the above class photo, only marked as "School No. 1 Eliot Maine". Sadly, none of the girls were named on the image.
