2930 Euclid - Former East Woodlawn SchoolThis one-room schoolhouse-turned-private home was built in 1873. The school owes its name to the work of a former member of the Board of Education, Harry L. Gross, who wanted to perpetuate the name of the former Woodlawn Independent School District. One of the former owners, Samuel Blanc, is said to have invented the Roto-Rooter in the garage on the property. This house is on the DSMRC 2008 list of Des Moines' Seven Most Endangered Buildings.  |

Further deterioration
There doesn't appear to have been any work on this building since it was put on the list. Now there is a notice posted to removed the garage due to safety issues and a posted tax sale. There is a large piece of plywood over some of the windows and there is further deterioration. Someone, some group, publicity, is needed. Any ideas? Maybe a move to Living History Farms or to Beaverdale Park to be used as a shelter? Any ideas?
