East Buffalo Grade School was located five miles west of Washington Pennsylvania. just one mile south of Route 40 (OLD NATIONAL ROAD) on East Buffalo Church Road. It sits next to and now belongs to 'The East Buffalo United Presbyterian Church' and is called 'The Fellowship Hall'
Little information could be found concerning the history of the grade school itself. The builder could not be determined with absolute certainty but may have been Franklin Miles Coffee, as a block in the basement's west wall contains a carving - "1915 FMC". A picture on another page was reported to have been taken of the first day of school in the new building in the year 1915. The older 'prior' school was located across the road adjacent to the south east corner of the East Buffalo Cemetery and can be seen in pictures 1901, 1906 and 1913-1914.
