Also see . . . Ferndale Public Schools. According to Wikipedia:
A school was built in the 1870s at the corner of Woodward Avenue and Nine Mile Road. It was replaced by a wooden building on the same site in 1909, but that building burned on December 28, 1914. It was rebuilt a year later in brick, and became known as Ferndale Central School. The building remains as commercial space.(Submitted on July 28, 2025, by Joel Seewald of Madison Heights, Michigan.)
