The second Emerson School was funded by a bond issue that also included the construction costs for new Irving and Edwards Schools, and an addition to the recently completed Washington School. The bond issue was approved by the voters on April 6, 1903.
The 1907 Emerson School was constructed for $75,000 on a new site – located on the corner of Bell and Clinton Streets – next to what would become Emerson Park. The school served the district until the early 1970s.
