Description
Black and white photograph of Parker Elementary School, rear and side elevations. Located at 33rd and Haskell, the school was named for Colonel Francis W. Parker, an educator of national renown from Quincy, Massachusetts, who gained fame as supervisor of the Boston schools and as principal of the Cook County Normal School in Illinois. The teacher was Miss Pearl Williams. Designed by architecture firm Rose and Peterson, the Parker school was constructed in 1914-1915 in the "cottage" style, identical to Bryant, Chelsea, and Francis Willard schools. Just a few years later, in 1928, land was purchased for a new Parker school adjacent to the old one. The new Parker school opened in 1940.
