Buchanan School Through Time to Ambroz Center
The Buchanan school saga traces its rise from 1902 growth needs on Mount Vernon Road to 1973 closure, a swap for Ambroz Recreation Center, and ongoing remodeling to house Cedar Rapids recreation and Riverfront and Parks departments. Key figures include Dr. A W Berryman, educator Tom Woodhouse, and local officials.
