Public School 11, 1925. The Union Free District School No. 10 opened in 1894, sitting high on a 100-foot hill. Four years later, when Queens became a borough of the consolidated city, this wood-frame structure with its soaring belfry was one of the borough's tallest buildings. Renamed the Woodside High School in 1897, the building had two, three-story, brick wings added in 1905. Renamed Public School 11 in the early 20th century, the school served Queens' growing population. By the mid-century, the wood-frame building was no longer in use and scheduled for demolition. Before it could be razed, it was lost to a massive fire in 1951. A new, three-story, brick school was completed on the site a few years later. In 2017 a large, new extension was completed to relieve the cram of students in New York City's most crowded elementary school.
