West School (Crooksville, Ohio)
The West School is a historic former school in the village of Crooksville, Ohio, United States. Constructed during a period of significant growth in the community, it served local children for a comparatively short time before its sale for private use.
==History==
Built in 1904,〔 the West School is a relic of Crooksville's early prosperity.〔Owen, Lorrie K., ed. ''Dictionary of Ohio Historic Places''. Vol. 2. St. Clair Shores: Somerset, 1999, 1139.〕 The village was founded in 1874 at a location rich in clay, and by the opening of the twentieth century, it was experiencing rapid growth and had become one of Perry County's most important communities.〔Martzolff, Clement Luther. ''(History of Perry County, Ohio )''. New Lexington: Ward and Weiland, 1902, 93.〕 Much of this growth was the result of the clay: multiple pottery factories were established in Crooksville, and the population boomed, causing the village fathers to realize their need of improved educational facilities. Some years later, during the 1910s, the building ceased being exclusively a primary school, as village officials began using it for a new secondary school.〔
The West School remained in operation for only about 25 years. Petroleum was discovered in the vicinity of Crooksville in the 1920s, producing increases in the village's population and finances. Consequently, it was decided to erect a replacement facility, and in 1929, the West School was sold to the Oak Leaf Lodge #678 of the Knights of Pythias, who occupied it until 1978.〔
