Mr. Neunhoffer's grandmother was a student at Kerrville's Scofield School, a school for girls built here in 1909. The school's building still stands on the hill at the intersection of highways 173 and 16. This photo was taken from the balcony of the Scofield School, looking roughly north toward Kerrville. A big thanks to Julius for sharing this image with all of us.

Is the Dixie Theater directly across the street from the roller mills?
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure. Could be Fawcett's.
DeleteThis is interesting!
ReplyDeleteI haven't lived in Kerrville in over half a century, but I thought I was familiar with every building in town.
Now I learn that I am wrong, for I didn't know the old Scofield School building was still standing.
Joe, would you please post photos that show the Scofield School "then" and now?
Thank you.
I'll post some images from the Scofield School in the next few days.
