Description: Picture of Lincoln Elementary School (also known as Pittsburgh Lincoln K-8) located at 328 Lincoln Avenue (near the corner of Lincoln and Frankstown Avenues) in the Larimer neighborhood of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on December 12, 2009. The school was built in 1931, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Architects: Thomas Pringle, Oliver J. Robling. Architectural style: Art Deco. The historical marker near the front of the building on Frankstown Avenue says the following: "Mary Lou Williams (1910-1981) - Famed jazz composer and pianist. A child prodigy, she grew up in this city; went to Lincoln School here, 1919-23. Played for Andy Kirk in 1930s; then arranged music for Duke Ellington and others. Major works include "Zodiac Suite" and "Mary Lou's Mass."" Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission 1996.[1] It should be noted that the school building pictured here was built circa 1930, which means that a previous school building at this site was likely attended by Mary Lou Williams (according to the historical marker, Williams attended "Lincoln School here, 1919-23.")
