Harvard Elementary School

1949 Glendale Ave.

In 1920, Toledo voters approved an $11 million bond to expand the city school system. Community forums and feedback about the design of the schools to be built as part of the expansion centered around the idea that since many local parents felt it might be beyond their means to send their children to college, the city should build schools that would provide area students a college feel. 


Harvard School, a beautiful example of collegiate Gothic-style architecture built along the banks of the Maumee in 1927, resulted from the feedback collected by Toledo citizens in 1920.
