Description
McKelvy Elementary School opened in 1916. It was constructed on land that was formerly used as the Bedford Reservoir Park. In addition to the elementary grades it housed, during the 1920s the school served as an evening educational and community center. European immigrants from countries such as Russia and Poland have utilized the educational opportunities available to non-traditional students and received basic instruction in Americanization at the school in the evenings.
