About Agassiz, Louis John Randolph Agassiz Elementary School

Prior to its renaming on September 13, 1893, the Louis John Randolph Agassiz Elementary School bore the unabashedly generic name of “Lake View School #2.”  Agassiz, located on the southwest corner of Diversey Boulevard & Seminary Avenue, still was not a part of the city of Chicago, however.  That changed in July of 1889 when Chicago annexed the Town of Lake View.  Between 1912 and 1913, a new Agassiz school building was constructed at 2851 North Seminary Avenue.  Agassiz continues to serve students at this location today.
