A red brick, two-story elementary school was built here in 1913 on land purchased from Humphrey Barr. It was funded with $5,000 in bonds, and Dr. A. J. Harrison, School Board President, handled the bond sales in Fort Smith. In 1915, Lowell students numbered 80 males and 92 females. Many later recalled fond memories of the building and grounds where they learned their 3-R's. Bill Neil said he walked there to first grade in 1944, and by the next year a school bus was in use. Students were required to bring their own bar of soap, and the girls privy stood on one side of the playground and the boys on the other. After the school district stopped using the building, it was converted to apartments, and Bill Neil and his family lived in one for a time. It was later used as a chicken house and for hay storage before being torn down in the mid 1960's, though memories of its well-worn halls endured.
