Radnor, Ohio
· 1917-2016
Education
Built in 1917, the Radnor School building was designed by local architect William R Powell, who supervised construction under the direction of school board members W.P. Penry, president, Rees Jones, Wm Jones, Walter Baxter, and J.T. Lodwig. The building served the community by housing both elementary and high school students, and 45 high school classes graduated there before consolidation into the Buckeye Valley School District in 1963. When constructed, it was a very modern building with electric lighting, indoor plumbing, and up-to-date teaching facilities. In 1932, a gymnasium and additional classroom space were added, doubling the building's size. The Radnor School served the educational needs of the community for 100 years until it was razed in 2016.
