Inscription. Saegmuller Public School stood on this site from 1901 to 1939. It was one of the first schools in Arlington and was named in honor of George Saegmuller (1847-1934). He personally donated funds for the construction of the building. During most of the school's existence, it had a single teacher who taught children in grades one through eight. The school's first teacher was Edward Stalcup. The two-story wooden building was demolished in 1939. It was replaced by the James Madison Elementary School, which closed in 1975 and is now the Madison Community Center.
