Did anyone live here at this time? I'm trying to find out about a elementary school that burned down on 106th street b/w 101st & 103rd ave. Anybody? Any information would be helpful.

Thanks

I lived at 101-45 106th Street in the late 40s/early 50s. I attended the school you are speaking of, and so did my father before me. I believe it was PS 62, but can't really be sure of the number. It seemed to have been built on the framework of an old church — I was told that structure originated in the post-Civil War era. Again, can't verify that. I believe there was a fire in the school at some point, and that event prompted the closing of the school, but not sure if the school actually burned to the ground. I feel like a fool answering a post from 11 years ago, but in case someone else out there stumbles upon this thread, I'd be happy to share remembrances with you.
