OLD CENTER SCHOOLHOUSE 1880 - 1935


1956 ANNUAL TOWN REPORT


THE OLD CENTER SCHOOL (1880-1935)


The growing population of the Town of Lenox and the increasing tendency towards consolidation in the center prompted the insertion of an article in the Warrant of the Town Meeting of April 2, 1877. This Article 32 called for the ap- pointment of a committee consisting of the three Selectmen and "three other citizens to take into consideration the subject of a new schoolhouse in the center village and of procuring land for same and of suitable buildings for same." At that time Col. Richard Auchmuty, Edward McDonald, and Horace Miller were the Board of Selectmen, and it was soon decided that the "other three citizens" should be the members of the School Committee: John Morell, Siloam Jenne, and Julius Rockwell.


For more than three years sites were proposed, accepted, and rejected; com- mittees were increased from six to ten, to thirteen; and plans for financing the project voted and rescinded. At first the church property where a little red school- house stood seemed the logical place, but that was immediately rejected in favor of Mrs. Phelps's land on Yokun Avenue. Next the Trustees of the Academy gave to the Town for a nominal sum permission to take over and repair the old building. At long last, however, on May 5, 1879, a meeting voted to purchase the present site from George O. Peck and at 3:15 adjourned for half an hour to visit the loca- tion. Later the citizens rescinded that vote, but on Nov. 5 repented and decided to purchase the two acres for not more than $2500 and to "erect and furnish a school building thereon with four rooms and suitable passages and closets and appurtenances at an expense not exceeding $3000, and to have same ready for occupation by first of September next." The building was made so large because it was estimated that in a few years the school population might reach two hun- dred.


At the Town Meeting the next year it was voted to purchase from George Winchell and Martin Tighe land for $800 to make a road past the new school from Walker Street to Housatonic Street and, a little later, to borrow $6000 to erect the new building, $1000 or $2000 to be paid back annually. Thus was erected a one-story building, capped by a belfry and containing a Primary, an Intermediate, a Grammar, and a High School Room, accommodating in all thirteen classes.


After twelve years this building seemed no longer sufficient, and two more rooms were asked for. Instead in 1892 the whole High School was moved to the Academy, and two rooms were given to the Primary classes.


Perhaps the most exciting event of that decade occurred in the early summer of 1895, when, during an afternoon thunderstorm, a bolt of lightning struck the belfry and descended the bellrope into the Grammar School. The ensuing fire and panic summoned the whole town to the rescue. The only real damage, however, was caused by a too zealous volunteer, who stepped through the ceiling. The hole thus caused was immediately patched in a slightly different shade, and school was resumed next day.


In September of the same year a class of twenty-five second-graders was removed to the Academy to relieve the congestion. This was followed in 1902 by a transfer of the Eighth Grade from the overcrowded room it shared with the Seventh Grade, when it was discovered that the enrollment amounted to eighty pupils. Now the need for enlarging the Center Building became imperative. One new room at each end and a second story of four rooms were added, furnishing one room for each grade and two extra for possible overflows. As Father Grace said in the 1904 school report, "The Center School Building, as it stands today, is as serviceably pleasant and sanitary a building as any in Western Massachusetts."


Here three generations of Lenox youth received a major part of their educa- tion before it was utterly destroyed by fire June 10, 1935.
