Interior Academy was a private prestigious boys school that operated from around the 1920's. The History of Stephenson County tells us the school closed at the end of the 1963-64 year. The building was in the process of being torn down when it was vandalized and burned by "mischievous village boys" in December 1965. The school property encompassed what is now know as Wyler Drive. Wyler was also the daughter of the head master and a teacher at the high school in Freeport up to the 1960's. Information provided by Alice Horner
