Notice that Miramar, one of the county’s last one-room schoolhouses, was a contemporary of the castle-style behemoth in Lemon Grove. Middletown School, a Victorian gem built in the 1880s, stood about where Washington Elementary School is today. Francis Parker, celebrating its centennial this year, was first located where Mission Hills Nursery now stands.
