Rudisill School - Spy Run Avenue - Flood of 78

Allen County Public Library CONTENTdm Collection

I loved driving down (or should I say - being driven UP) Spy Run Avenue. It was like a really cool race track - not many lights - and lots of things to see along the way.

One of those "things" was the Rudisill School. I'm guessing that it no longer exists since Fort Wayne got a little crazy with the wrecking balls in the late 80's and early/mid 90's (someone - fill me in).

Side note: Mr. Chris Crawford confirms - it met the fate of the wrecking ball.So I guess the big question is - what is in it's place???


If you click on this Topography Map, you'll be taken to my Flickr area where you can display it in its original size (1600 x 1200).

Topography Map - Rudisill School


To this little kid, schools like
Rudisill (architects - Marshall Mahurin and Guy Mahurin),
were grand and serious-looking. Almost like they were boasting from the side of the road (ain't I just an awesome-lookin' building?!).

Unfortunately, I never had the pleasure of attending one of these older schools. Mine were built in the "modern" age (i.e. 50's).

Anyone have the pleasure of attending Rudisill School?
