Constructed in [[1922]], '''D. Bethune Duffield Elementary School''' is a [[pre-kindergarten]] through 8th grade facility operated by the Detroit Board of Education. The classically styled, three-story elementary school draws students from the neighborhood bordered by southern St. Aubin Street; then eastward to include Chene, Joseph Campau and McDougall Street. |
|||
Inside and out, the aesthetically pleasing structure stands as a monument to an earlier time and place on Detroit's lower east side. The surrounding area was part of the historic [[Black Bottom]] neighborhood; much of which was razed during the late 1960s to make room for Elmwood Park - a modern community of attractive brick homes and well maintained play fields. |
|||
Duffield Elementary is located within a mile of [[Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.]], High School...''Home of the Crusaders'' - 2007 State Football Champions. |
