From the archives — Another Sheridan landmark falls

Here is another post from my old web site:

 From the archives—Another Sheridan landmark falls

Wednesday, July 31, 2013

The former Methodist Episcopal church, remembered by many as the Masonic Temple and site of regular fish fries, is being demolished. Neighbors bought it for storage when the Sheridan and Stanton Masonic lodges merged.

The Sheridan school district used the vacant church in the mid-1950s to house elementary students while the district was in the process of constructing new elementary buildings to accommodate students from former country schools as well as from town. I attended school here from kindergarten through second grade. I remember the girls playing a game called mother-may-I on these steps during recess.

Buildings decay and time moves on, but this landmark will be missed.
