In 1969, plans started to develop to widen Wyatt Earp Boulevard and to add parking lots. Two solutions were announced; remove the railroad tracks or demolish the buildings on Front Street. Since removing the railroad tracks was not feasible the brick buildings on Front Street were slated for demolition. The buildings were torn down in 1969-1970.

The featured display was made to advertise the selling of bricks from the Front Street buildings. Bricks were available for purchase for $3.98. Along with the brick the customer got their name registered with the Dodge City Marshal’s Office. They also got a certificate signed by Ramon K. House, Marshal of Dodge City and Frank B. Mapel, Dodge City Mayor.

Here is this week's ! It shows the First Ward School second grade posing in front of their school building in 1912. The woman standing in the back is their teacher, Faye Northrop Burns.

The First Ward School was located at 700 Avenue G and was built in 1910. The school was renamed Roosevelt School in 1928. It closed in 1951 when the new Miller School opened at 1100 Avenue G. The old Roosevelt School building was torn down in the late 1960s.
