Monroe City School Becomes Blue Jeans Community Center
The old Monroe City School
stands at 1242 Main Street, Monroe City, Indiana. The main part of the
structure, showing the pillared front entrance, was built in 1910. The
addition, plus gymnasium was added in 1936. Another building had been used
as Monroe City School before this one, so there are records of Monroe City
graduates from 1905 through 1967.
When the building closed as
Monroe City School, it was used for the South Knox Elementary School.
In 1999, the doors once again
closed as a school. The beloved old building became home to the
BlueJeans Community Center.
The name BlueJeans is from
the Honorable Govenor James D. “BlueJeans” Williams. The Govenor was from
this community and being a country boy at heart, acquired this nickname from
wearing home made bluejeans to the Govenor’s office. The Monroe City
Bluejeans basketball team carried his nickname, and the community center
continues to honor him as well. |
