Your piano predates the depression (1930's). They never made them that tall again after the depression. I'm guessing it's from the late 10's early 20's from the style but you can look up the serial number.
It's probably worth about $100, or less. You probably paid more to move it than its worth. As to your kids learning the piano and music, I think that's great. You can have a very decent digital piano for a few hundred bucks, and it will never need to be tuned, the kid can use headphones, and it will be a much more pleasant experience.
I love the sound of a real piano rather than a digital one. We have a digital keyboard, but it's not the same as a piano. I figured it wasn't worth much of anything, but we didn't get it for the value anyway.😊
