| The old Postville High School was built in 1914 atop a knoll nearly in the center of Postville. The school consisted of two stories of class-rooms and a basement gym. In 1984 the decision was made to raze the school.... a bad decision that still brings tears to the eyes of many former PHS graduates, because the old building was structurally sound. Today, where the majestic old school stood, only a parking lot remains.....but memories can't be razed or replaced. Many footsteps were heard at good 'ole PHS over the 70 years that the building stood & many memories made. 3 generations of my family attended school in this building (including me). |

| I'm not certain, but this early Postville school-house (c1911) may have been located on the lot where PHS was built. |
