Accordingly, that year a levy of $1,000 was made, which was followed next year by one for $5,000. On August 9, 1875, it was resolved to build a schoolhouse upon the lots purchased some years before, near the public square, provided that a loan of $10,000 could be effected with the State. That application was successful, and next year (1876), a tax of $6,000 was raised, which enabled the Board to finish the handsome building opposite the public park, which is at once a source of pride and honor to the citizens of Beloit.
