[edit] History
Addison was founded in 1925. Its original building was originally intended for a high school. It had two stories with wings at both ends, which still exist (as rooms 1, 2, 3, 8, 9). Those rooms are the oldest existing elementary school classrooms in the district. After an earthquake, the central part of the building was deemed unsafe and was replaced in 1968.
