Description	Ferguson School opened in 1868 as District 33 of the County School system. It was built on land donated by David Ferguson, president of the Mechanics Bank in St. Louis, and a landowner in the area. It was located on the Olive Street Road, west of Grueninger's Seven Mile House, near where Pennsylvania Avenue is today. When University City organized its own school district in 1911, Ferguson School became part of the University City school system. This photograph shows part of a very muddy and rutted Olive Street Road, and plank walkways along the road and around the school.
