| Charles J. Colton School |
| With much appreciation to Mary Olivier Thurman for sharing the two photos below. |
| C. J. Colton School was named for Charles Joseph Colton, a New Orleans essayist, poet, journalist, lawyer and court reporter, who was born in 1868 and died in 1916. In 1918, a school located on St. Phillip Street, in the French Quarter, was named after him. In 1929, a grammar school opened at 2300 St. Claude Avenue and was named after Mr. Colton. It was turned into a junior high in about 1953. |
