Description
1925 photograph of Todd School students running in the snow just outside of Rogers Hall.
The Todd School for Boys (1848–1954) was an independent school located in Woodstock, Illinois founded by Reverend Richard Kimball Todd, a Presbyterian pastor. Under the guidance of Headmaster Noble Hill in the 1920s and Hill’s son Roger in the 1930s, it became known as a progressive school that provided students with a creative educational environment that emphasized practical experience over traditional academics. The main Todd School Campus was located on the northeast corner of the Rt. 47 (Seminary Ave) and Rt. 120 (McHenry Ave.) junction.
Rogers Hall was built in 1910 and named in honor of Noble Hill's wife's family name, Rogers. The facility included wood, print, and machine shops, classrooms, a library, science laboratories and a 180 seat theater. Rogers Hall is one of the few remaining buildings from the Todd School Campus and is located at 730 N Seminary Ave, Woodstock, IL. It is currently (2021) being used as an apartment building.
