History Original building opened in 1912 Additions in 1916, 1924 and 1985 Decommissioned in 1979; reopened in 1980 Renamed in honor of Henry Robinson Henry Robinson was a pioneer manufacturer of clay products, banker, civic leader and one of the original benefactors of Akron City Hospital. Robinson opened in 1912 and was decommissioned in 1979. The building reopened in 1980 as the result of a federal court suit filed by parents. Students from Fraunfelter were reassigned to Robinson with the subsequent closing of Fraunfelter School. The building was almost completely remodeled, and additional land was purchased to enlarge the playground.
