By the 1906 Sanborn map the third Culver Public School was on Washington Street directly behind it - and looks as if it would be on what is now part of Ohio Street. After the foruth school house was built John Osborn bought the school property and built the Osborn Hotel reusing the old school house it is said, tho by accounts of the hotel history it is implied it was built "new".



The Fourth School

The Culver school authorities have agreed to erect a new $16,000 school building and a resident of that city will loan all the money for the new building to the school board. - Rochester Sentinel, Friday, June 1, 1906

The May Issue of the Culver Citizen reported that willing landlord had been found, and that plans were under way for the new eight-room brick school house. George Garn sold two acres of land on the northwest corner of town for the school property. Mrs. Culver and her son K. K. Culver donated each a boiler for the school.

The June 28 issue provided the sketch of the school house above and revealed that the generous financial backer was Franklin Overmyer of Burr Oak and this was also found in On Township's Yesterday's is the name of the person - Franklin Overmyer:
In 1906, when Culver City needed a school building and there were no funds nor means of raising any for the necessary expense, Mr. Overmyer financed the erection of a building on long term payment plans.

Basketball was played on the second floor court until increasing enrollmen required that space to be used for classrooms. Basketball was then played in the narrow confines of Crook's Hall untill the Community Building was built behind the school in 1929.

But it was soon evident that the gymnasium in this new building was too small and that the space was needed for class rooms, so the Community Building was erected and dedicated in 1929 with a basketball victory over Plymouth. The following article was found:
CULVER GYM TO BE READY FOR THE PLYMOUTH GAME
Culver, Ind., Nov. 30. - One more week of good weather will make it a certainty that the new township gymnasium will be ready for the dedication game with Plymouth on Dec. 17.

The sheeting on the roof has been completed and with enough more good weather to complete the housing in, the workers will be able to do enough of the interior work to make the gym useable, although not complete, of course.

When completed the gymnasium will be the best in Marshall county and among the best of any in the state for a town the size of Culver. It will accommodate a crowd of 1,400 people with a good view of the floor from all seats. - The News-Sentinel, Saturday, November 30, 1929

Improvements made to the Community Building stage:
Culver Citizen
Feb. 19, 1930

NEW GYMNASIUM STAGE FITTED WITH SCENERY IS BEST IN COUNTY
Sufficient Lighting Installed to Give Fine Effects With Modern Stage Equipment.

Workmen have been busy installing a complete set of stage scenery and equipment on the new community building stage that will make it the best in the country. For the first time a high school production will have sufficient room to properly stage a play. And of equal importance will be the stage setting.

There will be lights and plenty of them. The foot lights will be solid with bulbs of various colors to give the desired effects, while from overhead two rows of lights will illuminate the stage and remove shadows. Then from the wings will be flood lights with an assortment of colors.

The stage scenery offers an indoor and an outdoor setting, and these will be handled by modern equipment which will allow much faster changing of scenery as well as much more effective work. Then for sound purposes a special drapery surrounds the stage, insuring proper acoustics.

The stage curtain is a beautiful maroon material that is fireproof, an important item for the safety of the public.

All this has not and will not cost the taxpayers a cent as the expense is being borne by school organizations. The Parent-Teacher Association has agreed to aid, as have some of the classes and other intra-school groups. Play proceeds will be used for this fund, as will the revenue from other projects.
