| Image Captions |
Leslie S. Hodgson came to Ogden in 1906 after studying architecture under students of Frank Lloyd Wright. During his 40 year career, he designed more than 75 buildings and schools. Although he designed in Wright’s Prairie Style and several period revival styles, Hodgson was best known for his Art Deco public buildings and homes. Many of his buildings such as, Ogden High School, the City and County Building, and the Egyptian Theater still stand today |
| Description |
Ogden City was still evolving when the first school was established in 1850 with Charilla Abbott as the first teacher. The school system continued to grow with public and private institutions accepting students. A bond issue passed in 1890 allowing for new buildings, including the showplace school, Central. Ogden High School called the “best and most attractive school in the world” was opened on October 29, 1937 after a cost of $1.2 million. Ogden High School and others still stand as proof of the community’s commitment to education. |
