- Description
- Postcard of West Division School. The school opened in 1923 as Des Plaines began to expand westward and new residential neighborhoods replaced farmland. Later additions to the building increased its size between 1949 and 1970. The school closed in 1981 due to declining enrollment. The Willows Academy, a Catholic girls' school for grades 6 - 12, moved into the building in 1996.
