Marker Text: ​ By the early 1900s Bartlett had become the railroad center of a prosperous cotton growing region. In 1903 the Bartlett Independent School District was created. By 1906-07 the  5-room schoolhouse here proved inadequate to house the district's expanding student enrollment. Bartlett enlarged the district's tax base and passed a bond election. And in 1908-09 a new multi-wing brick building, designed by noted Austin architect A.O. Watson. Was built here, when a new high school was erected in 1919. The facility at this site became an elementary/grammar school. The school closed in 1988. (1994)
