There were two rooms used as classrooms, and the other two rooms could be opened into a larger space for performances. The attic of the building was large enough to be able to hold &#8220;manual training&#8221; and &#8220;domestic science&#8221; classes.\u00a0The school was named for Nathaniel Hawthorne (1804-1864), an American novelist and diplomat. It was served by three teachers and principal A.E. McCrystal.<\/p>\n<p>Upon construction of the current brick building <a href=\"https:\/\/journalstar.com\/news\/local\/former-hawthorne-students-keep-memories-alive\/article_c823f85e-50e9-5fd8-8486-683de6d61419.html\">the stucco building became a church. Later, Nesbitt Bottling Co. took over that building and painted it orange<\/a>.
