What a wonderful use for this old school where perhaps some of these elders attended classes as children. How appropriate. A perfect circle, in my opinion!

Wonder if one can hear echoes of a happy, long-gone past in those hallways late at night...

South Grammar. The present building was rebuilt in 1906 after the first one was destroyed by fire on March 9th of that year. So the history goes back beyond this date. Does anyone have the date of the original building of this school? An excellent, casual history of Waterville is here:

and another, by the Waterville Fire and Rescue:

There are excellent photos of old Waterville and more on this website.report abuse
