Lynn Lane School was built in 1928 and was named after the street on which it was built. Most Tulsa schools are named after a person, so this school is unique in this way. The school was annexed in 1962 and finally closed in 1975. In 1970, a girl was raped and murdered by a laborer and her body was found next door to the school. Also in the 70’s, a chlorine tank down the street at the Lynn Lane water treatment facility ruptured forcing families to seek shelter at the school.
Special thanks to John Crockett for giving the location of this school and Janice Jones of Tulsa Public Schools for help researching the school.

Wow! pic #31 is my fave! So weird how someone chose to throw all the desks & chairs in that celler. wonder why?
I’m not sure really. Ive seen that in alot of places before, all the chairs or furniture thrown into one place.
i think thats called reckless behavior
Where is this located?? I cant even remember seeing it in passing…and I usually notice old buildings.
It is on the southwest corner of 11th and Lynn Lane. The last pictures show the ‘front’ of the building that faces Lynn Lane. So sad that this building is left this way!

Glad I could be of service and tell everyone about this school. I’ve been about three times now and everytime I go it’s new for me. Next door is an old gym or cafeteria.The only experience I had there was hearing a little girl’s voice. I don’t know if that could be the murder that happend there or not but I could not make out what was said.
I understand you heard a little girls voice.. where exactly did you hear it? Did you hear it with your ears or a recorder? I was just there not to long ago checking the place out with a digital camera, recorder, and a K2 meter. If you can i would like to hear from you. My e-mail is dhill1985@gmail.com Thanks
The school actually didn’t close until 1978. I went to this school from 1967 – 1972. This was a great school to attend. I have many happy memories of this ol place. It is such a shame to this once great place end up like this.
i have past by this school i want to go in but i wonder if i will get in trouble?
Only if you get caught haha
