Young School History The Board of Directors has approved the request to place the Young School Building on the Independence Missouri Landmark Program.  These Independence Historic Landmarks are individual properties that have been determined to be historically significant by the City of Independence and have been designated as such by ordinance of the City Council.  The designations are granted at the request of the owner, and serves both as recognition for a property’s significance and as means of protecting the property from unmanaged change.  Once a Landmark is designated, the property is preserved in perpetuity according to the provisions of Independence Missouri Historic Preservation Ordinance.   Pictorial History and Current Views of the Young School 2nd Baptist Church - Young School Taught Here First Young School Building City Public School Garden Area (Believed to be at first Young School) Young School - 1934 Young School - The Early Years View of Young School on Rise - Truman/Noland Road Intersection Walkway View of School - Dodgion Street Interior Hall Way of Young School - Early Years Interior Hall Way of Young School - Present 4 Large Windows in Young School Gym Coat Rack Storage Area - Typical Classroom View of Young School Kitchen area View of Young School Kitchen area
