The former Blume High School is a historic building in downtown Wapakoneta, Ohio, United States. Built in 1908 in a mix of architectural styles, it was designed by architects Frank Packard and W.M. Runkle.〔 The original part of the high school was built at a cost of $41,315. In the mid-1920s, it was expanded with the construction of a gymnasium, a library, and the "Red Brick Section" addition; while the last portion was built with money raised from bonds, the library and gym were financed with a bequest from L.N. Blume.〔Dahill, Harold. "Wapakoneta City Schools". Auglaize County Historical Society, ed. ''A History of Auglaize County Ohio''. Defiance: Hubbard, 1980, 111-113.〕 Growth in the Wapakoneta school district resulted in overcrowding by the mid-1950s.〔 After a series of failed attempts, the school board succeeded in winning voter approval for the construction of a new school in 1956, and the new Wapakoneta High School opened at the beginning of 1959.〔 Blume was converted into a junior high school for several years, but a 1978 vote resulted in the school's closing by 1980.〔 In 1996, the former Blume High School was listed on the National Register of Historic Places because of its architecture.〔 ==Notable alumni== *Neil Armstrong - NASA astronaut, first man to walk on the moon 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Blume High School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
