The old Picadome School on Harrodsburg Road at McCubbin’s Lane, in summer 1978. The school was demolished that November to make way for a vocational school, now the Southside Technical Center. This was the third school building to carry the Picadome name. The original “little” Picadome school was built in 1888 on Harrodsburg Road. In 1912, a new school was built on the site of the current Picadome Elementary, and it became known as the second “little” Picadome. The “big” Picadome School, pictured here, was built in 1923. When Lafayette High School opened in 1939, it became Picadome Elementary.  Photo by E. Martin Jessee | Staff
