Campbell School, aka the Eighth Ward School


Later known as Campbell School, the Eighth Ward School was built in 1885 to serve children from the southern portion of Sandusky. During some years of its history, this school held classes for students with special needs. Ellie Damm wrote in Treasure by the Bay that the school, which was a Victorian Gothic structure, was built by Adam Feick and Brothers. The building is located at 1215 Campbell Street in Sandusky, Ohio, and is now used by the Nehemiah Partners of Sandusky.

In the photographic collections of the Sandusky Library Archives Research Center are several vintage group pictures of former students of the Eighth Ward School. The two photos below were taken in 1888.



The students pictured below were in Grade 3-B at Campbell School in 1919.
