This is a used car lot from 1956 at 2429 N. Cicero. The office is in an old schoolhouse. Can't figure out the name of the school. Any suggestions would be appreciated

According to the polk criss cross directory, in 1928 it was the Lloyd School.

This 1914 Chicago Schools map verify's that it is the Lloyd School, although it is actually Lloyd School Branch #2 according to this map:

The school was built in the 1870s when the area was still Jefferson Township. When Jefferson Township was annexed to Chicago in 1889 the school was taken over by the Chicago Board of Education and operated as the Kelvyn Grove School until 1911 when it became a branch of Lloyd. The school was closed in 1943.
