education is what survives when what has been learned has been forgotten....
Built in 1911,Rock River Elementary served Rockford area students till 2005.Soon after, it was sold to an area congregation to become a church. That never happened and the structure and property have been vandalized so heavily, city employees were called in to clean up the property and board it up...twice. The structure which is much bigger than what is seen in this picture was in serious disrepair when closed....
