Description

A broken window in the old Didge School tells the story. The 1884 school doesn't have long to live.
But it really hasn't been alive since it was closed in 1975. it was going to be a museum, and then an art center. But vandals and inflation nipped those thoughts in the bud.
The School Board Thursday night accepted a $4,200 demolition bid from Wrecking In. and work is expected to start soon.
The board's vote took two minutes of the school's 93-year life. Those two minutes were fatal.
