Ellicott City Elementary School

This well-known local school was built on the site of Rock Hill College, which had burned to the ground in 1923. The structure was built of local granite, with 2' thick walls. Students that lived close to the school climbed the hill each morning, and downhill each afternoon and were called "walkers". Among my best memories is of the fun that was had at recess on the old playground equipment. There was a "Jungle Jim", 3 old concrete culverts, 2 sliding boards, and 2 "Merry-Go-Rounds".
