This cut from the 1909 Platt Book shows the location of Grandview school and District 12. At it's largest, the district was only 10 sections. The school was built on land owned by W.T. Krisle
This modern day map shows Grandview and it's location as it relates to Meade and Fowler. Were it still there it would be at the intersection of "25" and "K" Roads.
Either the bell tower has been removed, or a new building has been built, and an additional building added.
