Old Schools
The large brick condominium on top of Prospect Hill was once "Central High School", built in 1908 after a fire gutted the previous building. "Central" was high school until 1956, grades K-8 from 1956-1972, and grades 5-8 from 1972-1980, when it closed its doors as a school.
Shown below are pictures of old schools around Galena, some of which are in use today as private residences.
