The school name was changed from Pearl Street to Douglass in 1910. A spelling discrepancy may have occurred - there are several references to Douglas School rather than Douglass. The school merged with Morris School to become Omer Carmichael Elementary in 1961 located at 512 S. Hancock . Buildings in this area were razed for urban renewal and construction of Interstate 65 in the 1960s. The street (Pearl) no longer exists.
