“Jordan Mixed School” was a one room school so-called due to the mix of ages in a single classroom. It was first located at 1st & K streets (the future site of Longfellow School). In 1889 it was moved to 48th and 0 streets (the future site of Hawthorne’s first building); then in 1892, to the North 46th street location.
Jordan was a small frame school, the first school east of Wyuka Cemetery, but there is a dearth of information about it. We haven’t been able to find out for whom it was named. If you have information, we would love to hear from you!
