Location:

1700 Denison Avenue, Cleveland, Ohio


The school was built on land deeded to the Cleveland Board of Education by Miriam Brainard Eldridge, widow of Moses Eldridge, William Hodkinson, and John Cheney. Miriam was a daughter of Seth and Delilah Brainard.

Opened:

Founded 1902

Grades:

Kindergarten thru 6th Grade
The playground behind the school is gone now but at one time had two baseball fields, two swing sets (for older kids), a tall sliding board, monkeybars, and other amusements. A second playground was aimed at the smaller children with a smaller sliding board, swing set, a small concrete tunnel, and a wading pool and fountain. Most of that is gone now since the elementary school closed down. What most people don't know is that the playground sits on top of what was once a deep ravine. The ravine ran from West 25th St. all the way down to Jennings Avenue. The whole ravine area, even though now filled in, has never had any construction on it. Is the ground considered unstable?
At the present time, a charter school called Horizon Science Academy, is operating at this location with approximately 400 students in the 5th thru 8th grades.


CLASS PICTURES:

SPECIAL REQUEST:

"I attended east denison and still live in my parents home. I am trying to locate a picture of the graduating classes of 1965 and 1966 if they are available.

Several of the kids I went to school with then have passed away and I cannot locate the parents to see if they have any of the pictures. My name when I attended was Debra Manson."
