Glen Park's "Historic & Abandoned" School Building in Gary, Indiana

[@OnTheGoWithFlo-Kid22]

You know, I am from the baby boomer generation, and I think that maybe you are too. But I remember so many schools around and still barley enough room for all the kids. In fact, at that time the school I went to was the largest in the diocese (Catholic School), and we had six extra trailers outside the school building to make more classrooms in order to accommodate all the kids. Last time I drove by there all the trailers were gone even with all the schools that have already been closed. Your school looks like a beautiful building. I hope they turn it into something great again. It would be a dirty shame to see it torn down. It sure was well taken care of. Buildings were so fancy back in the day. Now everything they build today look like army barracks. Nothing to differentiate one from the other. Kind of sad. And yes, I agree that kids today are a whole different breed. They truly don't know what they ended up missing. It starts with the parents though. My parents use to give our teachers permission to hit us if we misbehaved in school. Parents today would call the police if that happened. Can't tell you how many times my mother threw her slippers at me when I didn't listen. If she couldn't reach us to hit us with her slipper then that's when she would get mad enough to throw it across the room at us. I remember one time my dad hit me right in the mouth because I called my mom a bad word. I never ever did it again and actually even still today feel bad about ever doing that in the first place. That was not my normal character. But I learned a lesson for sure that day. Kids today are way out of control.

I agree with everything you said, my friend and I am going to pin this comment to the video so everyone can see. You are absolutely right, especially about these bad ass kids today with no discipline. 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯‼️

I attended school there from K - 6th grade. Mine was the last 6th grade class to graduate from there, June 1973. The weird red door on the 39th Ave side of the building is actually the coal shoot. The school boilers ran on coal. It was always cool to see the coal being delivered. Several generations of my family attended school there. Also, the little white church was Emmanuel Lutheran church for many years. My Grandfather & my Dad helped build the church. My parents were married there and all 3 of us kids were baptized there.

Thank you so much for taking the time and leaving this comment. I really enjoyed reading it. I apologize that it just now showed up under the video. I do not know how I have not seen this until just now. I appreciate you sharing your history with the school, especially knowing that several generations attended school here which I also did myself is nice to read with the videos and add so much to the content and I thank you so much for that. Once again, I apologize that I just now seen your comment and I hope that does not discourage you from leaving more comments on videos I truly appreciate your time and memories. I’m going to pin this to the video for everyone to see and enjoy.

I'm originally from Gary/Glenpark area and I do remember that school on broadway. We called it Glen Park school back in the day. Never knew the correct name. I attended a Catholic school in my east Glenpark neighborhood. Of course we had to wear school uniforms, my question to you is didn't Glenpark school have some sort of uniform at one time? Beanies?

[@gibbyswife9218]

You are so right, Storm! It is STILL a gorgeous building! Like all of the schools in Gary, it is uniquely designed for it's era. Forever Elegant, it will always belong to, and in the memories of, all the students, Educators, and everyone who entered that stunning Archway.

This is where I went to elementary school through the 5th grade when it was closed. Great memories, though bittersweet.

[@bjrazumi73]

Hello Storm. As Wally34 posted last year, there was a wood building addition that stretched from the west side of the brick building nearly all the way to Washington street. Towards the end of your video you panned along the field and showed the old church. When the wood addition was there, that whole field was part of the larger playground. At the southwest corner of the field there was baseball field fencing and a passable field. My friends and I would play a lot of slow pitch softball there. The larger playground also had the cool playground equipment of the 60's ,including 2 stainless steel sliding boards and swings and such. It sounds that when you went to kindergarten there that the wood addition was gone. You and your friends do very good work with your videos. As one who grew up in Glen Park this was interesting for me to see as I went to kindergarten at Glen Park school, too. In 1960-61 the kindergarten and maybe grades 1 and 2 were in the wood addition.

[@djzeek2013]

[@lcomgvs1]

there use to be a white wooden extension on the west side of the building. it was a few hundred feet long. The doors on the west side of the brick building was actually inside at that time.l That is where the gym and auditorium was located, as well as some classrooms. Not sure when all that was torn out. I moved from Gary in 73, and it was still there at that time.

[@donnabradshaw5200]

In 1977 approximately, my father in law went there for senior citizens lunch. I liked taking him there. Lovely building.

[@stugotz66]

I remember this school very well. 39th and Broadway. I lived right down the street. In the 1970s NBA players would show up and play pick up games there. It was famous. Great video Storm. Thank you so much for bringing back the memories. If you get time check out St. Joseph the worker church and school on Delaware Street. It was a beautiful structure. I hope it's still standing. God Bless you.

[@r.harlansmith7282]

I spent a lot of time on those front steps before the ramp was put in. I was a teenager in the 50s, attending Lew Wallace. I and some friends hung out at a place called Tommy's on the adjacent corner, which I can see is no longer there. I also lived in the apartment over Tommy's when I was married. Your work on Gary and Glen Park is very interesting for me.

[@wally3447]

Thanks for another great video Storm. I went to kindergarten there back in 1971.Those stairs and double doors on the West side of the building connected to the wooden part of the school that extended out to Washington Street. You can still see the roof line on the wall.The gym and my class was in that section of the school. Mrs. Trilo Trello? was my teacher and her husband owned Broncos' pizza. I believe the wooden section of the school collapsed sometimes in the late 70's and was removed. I remember Iron Mike very well, I don't think he ever missed a free throw. If any of your viewers know his real name or story please share it with us I would like to know more about him. Before that KFC was there it used to be Chuck Wheelers if I recall correctly. Again Thank you Storm, Social, Midwest and the Lost To Time crew for your great videos.

[@gibbyswife9218]

Wally34 Thank you Wally34! Love your memories about this beautiful School! A funny little "nugget" of info you shared, lol, answered one of the first questions I asked when I found Steel City Storm's Channel! I had asked if anyone remembered that Kentucky Fried Chicken on Broadway, and if it was in fact called: Chuck Wheeler's Kentucky Fried Chicken! Thank you for your confirmation! Question Answered!! Thank you, again for all the wonderful inside information you so eloquently shared about your personal experiences here. 😊

[@jannier9766]

Chuck Wheeler went to Liberty Bible Church for a long time and use to host parties for the young singles group at his home in Ogden Dunes, on the lake. My husband went to those parties. Mr and Mrs Wheeler would tell them to have a good time and clean up when you are done and would leave, allowing them to have the home to themselves for the day/evening. Wonderful man!!! He eventually started his own church on Rt 30 in Hobart. A friend of mine still goes there and is an elder. Mr. Wheeler passed away and last I knew, his wife was still living.

[@davep2103]

Gibbys Wife linked me to this video. I remember the school because I worked across the street. I believe the yellowish/ beige colored building with the parking lot next to it was Joe Kmetz's super market. I was a box boy there for a couple years. The library was just to the right of it but I couldn't see it in this video altho you did mention it.

[@normawideman4699]

My sister went to preschool there..it was held upstairs to the right.

[@exercisegirl2005]

I always wondered where each grade was relegated after the wooden addition was gone (it's my recollection it was destroyed by fire sometime in the 70s.) Where you pointed out having attended kindergarten (at the top of the fire escape) was the 6th grade classroom in years prior. The 5th grade classroom was directly next door to it (on the 39th Avenue/north side of the building.) When arriving at the top of the steps, there was a nice sized foyer with a teacher's planning room directly ahead, next door to the 6th grade room. It held printing machines (we called them 'mimeograph machines' back in the day and school supplies.) Thank you for peering in through the front door. As you enter the front door, directly to the left would have been the very small principal's office.. shared by the principal and his/her secretary. The principal when I attended was Mrs. Harris. The classroom to the left was Mrs. Gerometta's 3rd grade class and across the hall from it on the north side was Mrs. Gruenberg's 2nd grade classroom. I remember there being two doors leading into the hallway from that classroom... one at the front and the other at the rear. The stairs leading up to the second floor and down to the basement always seemed massive to me. Downstairs was located a boiler room, the Mrs. Hatrack's 4th grade class (I remember her reading us a story about Hatrack the Horse) and the cafeteria/art room. At one time hot meals were actually prepared in that room and there was a full kitchen at the rear of the room for that purpose. Taking that main floor center hallway past the 2nd grade classroom led to a few stairs that led up perhaps 3 steps. To the right was the girl's room and nurse's office. To the left was the boy's room and a teacher's lounge. Continuing straight ahead led down several steps into the portable building that's been mentioned before. On the left were the gymnasium (Coach Ward) and the music room/auditorium (Mrs. Rojahn.) Along the north wall of the portable you'd find a second 1st or 2nd grade classroom (I never used that room so my recollection is cloudy and I don't remember the name of the teacher although I've been told it was Mrs. Fisher) and then Mrs. Rigg's 1st grade classroom followed by (nearest to Washington Street) the kindergarten classroom with its infamous playhouse and nap mats and my very first teacher, Mrs. Tarailo. I am confident that all these years later I could traverse those hallways and classrooms blindfolded. That's how deeply embedded their memory is. I'd give anything for one last visit into that beautiful school.

[@TheSteelCityStorm]

I have read your comment twice now over my cuppa coffee and I really enjoyed it I must say I am going to pin it to the video forever because you took the time to share all that I think it is worthy to be attached to the video Thank you so much it really adds a lot to these videos when people attach to personal memories to these buildings it’s a beautiful thing to see sometimes just tough to look at the remains I also agree I would love to have one last walk through those hallways such a embedded memory but that means I would have to wear those big silly glasses that I had to wear when I was in kindergarten 😆 😂 again

[@exercisegirl2005]

@@TheSteelCityStorm Thanks so much. To put my memories into perspective, I began my kindergarten year in the fall of 1957 and left 6th grade in June of 1964 (the year the Beatles hit America and the Ed Sullivan show.) I loved that school so much. My mom also attended as a child and she'd tell stories of her dog following her to school and up the steps, sneaking into her classroom on the second floor to lie quietly beside her desk until being discovered by the teacher. Still on my bookshelf sits a worn copy of Charlotte's Web, the first hard cover book I ever owned. It was a prize won in the third grade spelling bee and signed by my teacher Mrs. Gerometta.

[@junkdeal]

The wooden building was called a “portable building complex”; they were pre-fab though not portable. Many schools had them added in the early ‘40s or so during the “great migration” to take up capacity from a huge influx of children. The building you mentioned was torn down. The fire you are thinking of was Riley School on the east side in May of 1970. It was utterly destroyed, with nothing remaining standing……

[@dbdigital57]

I went to elementary school there in the 60’s. Next door was Chuck Wheeler KFC. There was a building attached at the back of the brick school that added classrooms all the way to Washington Street. It was like a long portable building that must have been torn down. Kindergarten class with the first classroom off Washington Street in the portable building with Mrs. Tarillo. Her husband was Bronko who owned restaurants. Iron Mike lived next door to me on 38th Washington. He threw underhanded.

[@lindamclerran4438]

YES, exactly what I was going to say! I went to school here K-5th grade. Mrs.Tarillo was my kindergarten teacher. We had a fabulous built in playhouse inside the kindergarten room, first classroom on the left from back entrance> i wonder what happened to that addition? It held the auditorium, lunchroom, and K-2 grades except Mrs. Gruenberg's second grade was in brick part. Love to reconnect with more classmates! I loved my time there. I went to school there starting in 1965.
