Mullikin Elementary School
Mullikin Elementary School was an early- to mid-20th century [clarification needed] primary/grade school (Grades 1-6) located on Mt. Oak Road in Mitchellville, Prince George's County, Maryland USA. The school was named after the Mullikin family.[1]
Mullikin Elementary was a three-story, concrete building with two stories above ground and one partially below ground level. On the upper two floors, the building housed six classrooms—one for each of the six grades—as well as the administrative office (e.g. principal, secretary). The lower, basement floor housed a small school library, a cafeteria of sorts, girls’ and boys’ restrooms, and a mechanical room. Outside, there was a playground and large open area.
Close by the school stood a small post office; an American Railway Express station next to a railroad track; and, earlier, a hotel. Sometime in the 1960s [clarification needed], a fire broke out in what was the Mullikin Elementary building, leading to its eventual demolition. The land where Mullikin Elementary, the post office and other buildings stood is now a Prince George's County school bus lot with no markers showing the storied history of this small area.
