About 37th & Wells Elementary School

Robert S. Abbott Elementary opened in 1890 as Horace Mann Elementary (note that this is not the same Horace Mann Elementary that stands today at 8050 South Chappell Avenue several miles south of Abbott). The school’s name has changed several times over the years, first to Raymond Branch #1 on September 29, 1919, then to Webster Branch #1 in 1936 or 1937 (records conflict), then to 37th & Wells Elementary on February 14, 1940, and finally to Abbot on November 10, 1948. Despite its many name changes, Abbot has always stood at 3630 South Wells Street and is still open at that location today.
