- Bingham Street School, February 1956. This is a photograph showing the original 1890 building (at left) and the new building, completed in 1956.

The original Bingham school, one of Lansing's earliest, was kept in service far longer than any of the other 19th century school buildings.

- Description:
- "One of the first - This two-room frame school, built in 1870 in the 100 block of South Mill Street, cost $3,000. It was the original Larch Street School, preceding the brick structure erected in 1888. Pilgrim Congregational Church used this building for a time, starting in about 1893." According to Aldinger's "History and Growth of the Lansing Public Schools" (Vol. 1), the church bought this building in approximately 1888 or 1889. Then in 1892 the school district rented it back from the church to be used to accomodate its growing demands for the rest of that year.

- Description:
- These photographs were removed from an oversize album. The cover sheet noted (in handwriting, possibly Ford Ceasar's) the following: "Lansing Schools and Lansing in the '50s and '60s Photos and tinting by Carl Dalrymple Lansing School Instructor and Audiovisual Director, 1922-1963" Some of the photographs date from earlier than the 1950s and 1960s. The series includes interior and exterior photographs of schools and other educational facilities such as libraries, gymnasiums, and audiovisual storage. There are many which appear to be photographs of other photographic material that had been on display, or photographs that have been removed from displays due to adhesive and tape residue/damage. The hand-tinted images have surface damage in many cases. Selected images from most files have been included in this record.
