Abstract
SV263 — Nelson Dionne Collection. View of an unknown class of schoolchildren at the old Bentley Primary School on Essex Street (located at the address of 50 Essex St.). Published by J.S. Lefavour, Salem, Mass., c. 1878-80s. Built 1860-61, with multiple floors, a mansard roof, rooster weather vane, bell, and a cupola, the Bentley School served in its role as primary school for about a century until being replaced in the early 1960s. The top two floors were taken off, and it then became a branch of the Salem Public Library as the Gardner Maynard Jones Memorial Library. Today, the building is now home to condominiums.
