Plan for New Dormitory at Chaddock College This Summer
Chaddock Boys School outlines a 10000 dollar dormitory project to expand capacity and standardize design with Beadles Hall. Fifty thousand bricks are on site as the southeast campus corner hosts the new structure. A long term plan envisions yearly building until capacity meets demand from the Midwest and foreign applicants. Old dormitory will be razed after new cottages rise, debt-free construction pursued. Fifteen boys attend summer school with two-hour classes and supervised activities.
