| This is the
Lafayette Grammar School, circa 1900. Notice the bell tower
. . . kind of familiar, eh? |

 |
| The third school
house became the nucleus of the present Methodist Church in 1941.
Although other additions and renovations have been made to the modern
Methodist Church on Moraga Road, the original old school structure and
its belfry are easily identifiable. Some of us went to MYF there
in the 1950s. |

| Here's
a 1946 photo of the part of Lafayette in which I grew up.
Lafayette Grammar School, the Town Hall, and Hamlin Road is there but my
house was not built until 1949. You can see the Grammar School, the play
yard with the softball bleachers there, the Sacramento Northern Loop and
the "Cut" where me and Butch and Bruce and Jackie used to
throw rocks across the train when it came roaring through the
"Cut" blowing its loud horn. The Methodist
church is close to where Moraga Blvd abuts Moraga Road but the trees are
in the way. On Moraga Road close to where Hamlin Road comes
in, notice Jeri Lee Jefferies' square house surrounding an open court
yard. Click on the picture to enlarge. |
