Fort Dodge’s oldest elementary shut down

Earlier this month, a pre-school-year inspection of Duncombe Elementary in Fort Dodge — in the city, not in the town of Duncombe — “found cracked and crumbling walls along with bowing windows,” WHO reported.

The century-old building (1912) is closed for this school year, with students going to a different school building that closed two years ago. I would consider it highly unlikely it will open again.
