Voyagers' Community School (Steelman School Building), Eatontown, New Jersey

            Fred G. Steelman, came to teach in Eatontown in 1916. He took a short leave of absence to serve in the military during World War I. He returned to teach, and was principal until 1940. Eatontown Public School No. 1 was renamed in his honor in 1955. It has been closed for many years now, but that is about to change!!! 

The former public school has been acquired by a respected private school named Voyagers Community School and the building will once again serve its purpose of educating students for, hopefully, many decades to come. I was allowed the privilege of taking some photos inside and I was very impressed with how they are modernizing the old school house with the best of technology. I think the most interesting thing I found out was when they stripped up the old yellowing linoleum, they found the original perfectly preserved wooden floors original to the building. If fact, you can still see the mounting holes and oval patterns where the original school desks were attached to the floor (the ones with a column holding up the seat). 

Sorry about the lighting in some of the photos. There’s no lighting installed yet so I had what the sun was willing to provide me. Hopefully, I’ll be able to post more photos as the building comes closer to completion.
