From Hills and Kilns: CHAPTER 6 - 1890-1910-237 Without a bond issue, the Board of Education had to remodel three rooms in the former Deidrick house, which stood on the site proposed for the high school. Conditions in the house, of course, were not as conducive to good education as in a school building. In September of 1906 it was reported that" . . . pupils have been compelled to do their writing while leaning over a heater. There are no desks. There are no seats. Neither is there any relief in sight." The following month the board leased a room in the public library for a classroom and began to use several small rooms in the basement of the central building in addition to the Deidrick house. At this time the total enrollment in the city's schools stood at 3,488. Despite well developed arguments by the board of education, the superintendent, and the endorsement of numerous influential citizens, the bond issue was once again defeated in November of 1906. A third attempt to pass a bond issue for the erection of a high school failed in 1907, although voters did approve the free textbook system. In December the board purchased two portable school buildings, which accommodated about seventy pupils each, to ease the problem of overcrowding.88 The East Liverpool Board of Education

The Bradshaw Hall (Meeting House) and Theater. This building was used as a meeting place by the Congregation of the Christian Church after the fire. It was located across the Street from Brunt home.

It was replaced by the Cooper Insurance Company building in the late 1900s.
