1908 - Postcard of Union Park Notice the building on the left - it's located where the old High School & current Intermediate school sits now. We have other old photos posted that identify this building as the " High School". Obviously, that building underwent a serious remodeling. Can anybody add to this mystery?
|
|
THE MYSTERY IS ANSWERED! |
|
|
|
The Park School, a classic rural school, underwent many changes as the Hornell City School district grew at the turn of the century (1900). The building, home of what was originally known as the Hornell Free Academy, remained until it simply became too small. After the Park School was condemned and razed, a building that would become the Hornell High School was built just prior to the "Great Depression" and remained for more than 40 years until becoming the Intermediate School in the late '60s. |

Home is there as our viewer said. What an awesome looking home! (Photo taken 2-10-04) |
A regular viewer wrote with what we believe to be a valid identification of this home. Here are his unedited comments: This home was constructed by the Merrill's . . . owners of several mills in Hornell. It is now owned by David Shults and is located on Maple St. The left and right porches were removed prior to 1958 due to deteriorated condition. This home at one time had a room with a fountain in the middle. It also had a dumbwaiter and maid's quarters. In the 1950 to 1960 era the building was used by Dr Karl as his clinic that employed several doctors. Dr Karl's home is next door on the right of the picture. In 1958 I worked on the house, painting the trim. There was a caretaker/handyman who told me these facts and showed me the fountain stored in the carriage house out back. |

A viewer from the Rochester area sent in these old photos that were simply marked "Hornell". No year or details. |
