Fire destroys Bemidji oldest grade school
Bemidji Central, the town's oldest elementary building dating to 1898, was destroyed Tuesday night by a attic fire. The two story brick structure, expanded in 1900, held about 500 students and was uninsured beyond a $350000 replacement value. No one was inside the building when flames broke out and crews fought to prevent spread to nearby homes. Volunteers helped move furniture from the lower floor before flames reached the upper levels. No replacement plans were announced though a $1650000 bond issue for a new junior high had been approved.
