This vintage image from around 1903, shows the students of the District 9 School. This brick schoolhouse was located near the intersection of Little Dry Run and Bridle Road, and was one of several new schools built in the 1870's. District 9 school closed in the early 1900's because of a shortage of pupils living nearby.
