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.")
