The Froebel School located at 417 Jackson Street in the city of Muskegon, Michigan is said to have such historically interesting architecture. Its Spanish style architecture leaves much to the eye to be desired. Stucco tiles with blue diamond shaped were aligned over the school building.
The existing Froebel School was built in 1930 as a Spanish-style structured elementary school with a unique design that was considered to be one of the “10 finest school buildings in the state” of Michigan. It’s most notable feature is its historically interesting architecture with terra cotta tiles. Its interiors have terra cotta tiles and marble features as floors. The roof is a terra cotta roof. The school building itself is 55,683 square feet. Terra cotta was used all over this school building.
The current Froebel School was built in 1930 to replace the former Froebel School building that was built in 1906 after the older wooden Froebel School building was burnt down in a fire in 1926. After a fire that occurred to that school building, a newer wooden structure was built in its place in 1927 but was never used. Having the building being untouched and vacant in such setting was more of a hazard. The school was abandoned because maintenance costs prevented this building from being put to good use for many years prior to 1930. Zoning issues were an issue with the building and Muskegon Board of Education. It's more of a hazard sitting vacant.
The Froebel School is located at 417 Jackson Street, Muskegon, Michigan, US 49442.
