A school that was built for youth of the
Delaware Tribe of Oklahoma has been demolished.
Limestone Elementary School in Bartlesville was built in 1939. It was a one-room tribal school house that eventually became part of the public school system.
"During World War II gasoline rationing prompted the use of the facility as a Delaware tribal church and home for the town's east side Sunday School classes," according to the
Bartlesville school district.
A bank will be going up at the site.
