History:
By 1915, land had been purchased on Kickapoo Street and a high school erected at a cost of $21,000. This building, intended for just high school students, had a first and second grade class for two years before they were moved back to East Side School. The school was named Joe Wright, but known as Jacksonville High School.

Note:
In the distance you can see the Old Main building of Jacksonville Baptist College (JBC).
