The Making of a Special Place: A History of Crow Island School, Winnetka, Illinois

History of Crow Island School, Winnetka, Illinois.

Crow Island School is an elementary school significant for its progressive philosophy and its architecture. The design of its building was a collaboration between the Chicago firm of Perkins, Wheeler and Will (now Perkins and Will Partnership). Carleton Washburne was superintendent of the Winnetka schools when Crow Island School was conceived, designed and built. It was his dream come true, as the building was the architectural expression of his educational philosophy.

Carbol, Betty Williams
