Forgotten Bluffton: The story of the 1933 BHS addition

When opened, it attached to the original Bluffton HS building built in 1911
Posted by Fred Steiner on February 14, 2021 - 1:10pm

Depending upon when you attended Bluffton High School, the building on the corner of Main and College is either the “old” section or the “new” section. The dividing line between old and new falls in the mid-1980s.

In the 1980s, a building constructed in 1911 was razed and a new addition was built in its place. That new addition connects to another addition, constructed in 1933.

And, for decades and decades, we’ve never given much thought to what the 1933 addition meant to the community.

As men grow older and wiser, the prostate tends to follow. That doesn't mean that every man will develop voiding symptoms.

The prostate is a small gland located at the bottom of the bladder. It makes up the beginning of the tube that drains the bladder (urethra). Its primary function is to produce fluids important for the viability of the sperm.
