Fulton Avenue School, casually called Fulton School, was one of the oldest public schools in Evansville.  It was built in 1870-1 to provide education for the students of Lamasco.  It was located on the west side of Fulton Ave between Michigan and Virginia Sts where Lewis Bakery now stands.  Originally Fulton School was a single building with a tower, but a south wing was added c1880 and north one was added later to handle increasing enrollment. The school can be seen in pretty good detail in the 1888 panoramic map below and also here in this picture from the 1910 Sanborn maps.  The tower, which can be seen in many photos looking up or down Fulton Avenue, was removed sometime around 1920.  The Ragland Memorial Gym was added in 1927 to the rear of the school.

In the early 1970s, after a lawsuit forced the EVSC to desgregate its schools, a few neighborhood schools were closed, district lines were redrawn, and some students were bused to different schools.  Fulton School, as well as two other old schools Baker School and White School, was closed in June 1973 and torn down later that year.  Now the bakery encompasses the school’s old block with hardly a trace of the old school that stood for over a century.
