A picture post card view of the Center Street School, Millersburg, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania. Built in 1860, it was a two-story brick building which housed grades one through eight until 1875, when the Moore Street School was built. After 1875, the Center Street School was used for grades one through four. Following the construction of other school buildings, this older structure was turned over to the Millersburg Fire Company, who eventually demolished it and constructed a modern fire house on the site.
