By the time I had gotten to Willis, a new North School had been built several blocks from the old one. The Center was housed in several different locations before ending up at the old North School.

Delaware had 4 elementary schools with one located in each quadrant of the city. Old North School was a homey type of school that had an open center located with all the classrooms making a circle around the common area.
