100 Years in 100 Days: Construction of Byron Junior High School

100 photographs that define Shaker Heights

Shaker Heights Patch is celebrating the 100 years of Shaker Heights history by creating an online scrapbook. Each day for 100 days, we'll feature a photograph that helps tell the story of Shaker Heights.

Today's photo shows Byron Junior School, which opened in 1957. The school's long, low design contrasted with more traditional school buildings. Byron was dubbed a chicken coop and a greenhouse, according to the book "75 Years: An Informal History of Shaker Heights." Byron was converted to a in 1985.
