Training School progress and history at Eldora
The Eldora Iowa Training School traces its 1873 origins as a reform school for boys with girls later added. The campus expanded with two new duplex dorms, an administration building, and a hospital, gym, and schoolhouse built between 1907 and 1922. The board notes potential demolition of the old admin building for a modern one story facility and ongoing staff housing upgrades. The site has housed over 13,000 boys, with recent renovations including room partitions and staff living spaces. Reverend Leroy Whiteman attended an Assemblies of God Sunday School convention in Des Moines with eight Eldora delegates attending.
