The school district replaced the pioneer school building in the 1880s. The [[Mill Street School]], as it was called, was only a one-story, two-room building, which the student population quickly outgrew.

There is evidence that a cheese factory was in operation on [[Mill Street (Springfield)|Mill Street]] until [[1889]], when the factory building was converted into a school (Graham 1978a). The school was the first of a series of schoolhouses to occupy the [[Mill Street (Springfield)|Mill]] and [[D Street (Springfield)|D Street]] site that now holds the present school administration building, which was built in [[1921]] as a high school (Graham 1978a).

Three larger schools, the first Springfield High School on Mill Street, Lincoln School, and the Glenwood school, were two-story, wood-frame buildings with multiple classrooms. None of these are extant. The Mill Street School, however, was replaced in 1921 by a three-story masonry building with stylistic elements associated with restrained classicism. It was used as the high school until a new modern facility was built in the 1940s; it is now used to house the Springfield School District offices.
