Graduation in Front of Grace Hall - Todd School

Description

Graduation ceremonies in front of Todd School's Grace Hall.

Grace Hall
Built in 1920-1921, the brick building provided accommodations for twenty-four students and six faculty members. It also housed the school's sound studio, laboratory, and photography dark room. Grace Hall was named in memory of Noble Hill's first wife, Grace Rogers Hill, who died in 1914. After Todd School closed in 1954, the building was purchased by the Woodstock Children's Home, later the Woodstock Christian Life Services. The building was torn down in 2010 to allow for the expansion of the WCLS campus.
