Waterford Junior High - Circa 1950

On the northeast corner of 4th and Cherry Streets stood the Asbury Methodist Church. The church was damaged by a fire in 1946. The Asbury Methodists moved in with the United Methodists on West 2nd and Walnut Streets, The school district bought the old burned church and remodeled it into the Waterford Junior High School. The doors opened in 1948. It was torn down in 1954 to make room for the Waterford Elementary School, which still stands on that spot today.

This picture and text were furnished by Herb Walden, Class of 1956.
