<p>The Keim Homestead is a historic farm on Boyer Road in Pike Township, Berks County, Pennsylvania. It was built in 1753 for Jacob Keim and his wife Magdalena Hoch on land given to the couple by her father. Jacob was the son of Johannes Keim, who immigrated from Germany in 1689 and scouted the Pennsylvania countryside for land that was similar in richness to the soil from the Black Forest of Germany. He thought he found it and returned to Germany, married his wife, Katarina. They came to America in 1707. Keim originally built a log structure for his family&#39;s housing and later a stone home along Keim Road in Pike Township. The main section of the Jacob and Magdelena Keim house on Boyer Road was built in two phases and it is, "replete with early German construction features... including extremely original second floor Chevron door." The exterior building material  is limestone. The finishings and trimmings are mostly original to the house; relatively unusual in a home of this period.</p><br>
<p>The Historic Preservation Trust of Berks County describes the house in this way:</p><br>
<p>There have been subsequent additions to the house, especially porches in later centuries. The Hartman Cider Press was moved from its original location in Muhlenberg Township, 11 miles to the Keim Homestead in 1975.</p><br>
<p>The Keim Homestead was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974. It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 2016 as a nationally significant example of German colonial architecture.</p><br>

<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Henry Ford and Clara Jane Bryant were married on April 11, 1888. Clara drew the plans, specifying the kitchen, sitting room, parlor and bedroom. Henry built the house himself, using timber cut on the property and finished in the sawmill he operated. An expert carpenter helped with the fancy-work details, such as the turned balustrades. The couple moved into the house in about June 1889. Ford later added a workshop, where he experimented with gasoline-powered engines.</p><br>
<p>The Fords lived in this house only until September 1891, when they left for Detroit. However, they retained ownership of the house until 1937, using it as a summer cottage. Ford gave the cottage to an employee, Robert Smith. After the Fords died, the land around the house was bought by the Ford Land Development Corporation, who told Smith to move the cottage to make room for freeway expansion; in 1952, it was moved to its present location. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>

<p>The Greenfield Hill Grange #133 is a historic grange hall at 1873 Hillside Road in Fairfield, Connecticut. Built in 1897, it is one of a few documented examples of high-quality architecture built specifically for a grange chapter in the state. The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008. The building continues to be owned by a local chapter, even though the area it serves no longer has many farms.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Greenfield Hill Grange is located in Fairfield&#39;s northern Greenfield Hills neighborhood, on the west side of Hillside Road near its junction with Congress Street. It is a two-story frame structure, with a gabled roof and exterior finished in novelty siding. A single-story porch, now partially enclosed, wraps around three sides of the building, supported by slender Tuscan-style round columns. The interior retains many late 19th-century decorative elements, including pressed tin ceiling and post coverings, vertical wainscoting, and plaster crown molding details. The metal ceilings are believed to be among the earliest of their type to be sold, based on their patterning.</p><br>
<p>The Greenfield Hill Grange chapter was organized in 1893, when northern Fairfield was a largely agricultural area focused on flax production. The chapter began planning for construction of the hall in 1896, and it was dedicated the following year. The chapter organized fairs, lectures, and other events, and typically had a membership of about 200. The building was enlarged to the rear in 1931.</p><br>
<p>El Orcoquisac Archeological District is a registered USA historic site located near Galveston Bay in present-day Wallisville, Texas. The site preserves an important Spanish presidio and trading center as well as an important settlement for the Akokisa and Bidai tribes that once inhabited the area.</p><br>
<p>Frenchmen, led by Joseph Blancpain and engaged in fur and hide trading with the tribes, had operated in the area near the mouth of the Trinity River in the early 18th century even though the area was claimed by the Spanish. Alarmed by this, the Spanish drove out the French and, in 1756, established a presidio known as San Augustín de Ahumada at the El Orcoquisac site. Within the presidio, a Roman Catholic mission known as Nuestra Señora de la Luz was also established. The Spanish post was never as successful in fur trading as Blancpain&#39;s operation. The presidio and mission were moved and gradually abandoned in the later 18th century.</p><br>
<p>The site was rediscovered by the amateur historian John V. Clay in 1965 and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.</p><br>

The surrounding burial ground has graves dating to the 18th century.Bailey, Paul; Long Island: A history of two great counties, Nassau and Suffolk, vol. II, N.Y., Lewis Historical Publisher, Inc., 1949. Chapter 24, Smith Alison J. "Methodism on Long Island."</p><br>
<p>Methodism in Winne-Comac began in 1783 when a society was formed after a sermon preached by John Phillips, a Methodist local preacher and a tailor in the British army during the Revolutionary War. James Hubbs had heard him in Cow Harbor (now Northport) and invited him to preach in his home. The first conference preacher, Phillip Cox, was appointed to Newton and Comac the following year, holding services in homes, with a total of two dozen members, half of them Negro slaves. In 1785 Ezekiel Cooper was appointed to the Long Island Circuit of which Comac was a part.</p><br>
<p>The Comac Society was the second to be formed on Long Island, preceded only by Newton in 1768. However, the historic building we now call our 1789 Chapel, has the distinction of being the oldest Methodist Church in continuous use in New York in which people still worship in the original building, with but few alterations. For it was in 1789 during the pastorate of William Phoebus that James Hubbs and the community erected "a neat, substantial and commodious house of worship." Others active in the society at that time were Nehemiah Brush, Jacob Wheeler, Charles Peters, Joel Rogers and Jacob Hoff. The land was purchased from Von Hadah Robbins for two pounds five shillings. Featured were a high box pulpit, one center door, and one balcony stairs. Foot warmers were brought by worshippers in the cold winters.</p><br>
<p>In 1791 Harry Hosier, known as Black Harry, preached at the invitation of Jacob Brush, while traveling with Bishop Francis Asbury; and in 1796, Freeborn Garretson was Presiding Elder. In 1803, a group from Winne-Comac with Freeborn Garretson, established a class at the home of Joseph Higby, Little Harbor, later called Centerport, while Sylvester was pastor.</p><br>
<p>In 1806, Mitchell B. Bull and James Cleman, joint preachers of the Long Island Circuit, each preached only 15 times at Comac because of the size of their circuit. In 1810, Comac became part of the Suffolk County Circuit along with Happauge and Sag Harbor, with joint preachers Henry Redstone and Coles Carpenter.</p><br>
<p>A hand written summary of early Quarterly Conferences (1/4", with writers shorthand) with only the name "Chris Hawkes, 1895" located in the Huntington Historical Society Library, provided interesting sidelights of an 1815 meeting: "On Sunday a.m. services started at 8 or 9 oclock with a Love Feast. On these important occasions the membership of all the surrounding country came together, and we were given tickets of admission to the communion services by the class leaders. No one could enter these sacred services otherwise, nor those who wore rings on fingers or ears, nor flowers or hats." The circuit riders traveled some 250 miles each month to cover their circuit. Until 1869, a different preacher was assigned to Comac each year, including 1833 when the Smithtown circuit was formed and J. Lovejoy was the assigned preacher. In 1830 services were held every two weeks in Comac.</p><br>
<p>In 1835–36, the building was remodeled during the tenure of John B. Merwin. The roof was shingled; a chimney was built for a stove with accompanying monstrous pipes across the building; the twelve foot high pulpit was remodeled and lowered two feet; the communion rail was made semicircular; the floor was raised where needed to make it level; and two panel entrance doors were built replacing the single one, with two flights of stairs to the balcony. Men entered and sat on the left side, women on the right.</p><br>
<p>In 1859 the pulpit was again lowered during some remodeling while Eben S. Hibbard was pastor. A letter from W.A. Layton, pastor 1880–82 to Mrs. M. E. Shea, dated May 1, 1934, stated that during his pastorate the church still had the high pulpit, and he remembered performing the wedding ceremony for Mr. & Mrs. Fred Goldsmith, Senior, while Rev. Wardell was District Superintendent. He further stated that he "never spent a happier pastorate than the one he spent on the Smithtown Circuit."</p><br>
<p>In 1883 the pulpit was lowered to its present height for the 100th anniversary of the society. In 1889, a parsonage was built as part of the celebration of the 100th anniversary, during pastorate of William Dalziel, and a barn and sheds were built in 1895.</p><br>
<p>"Let there be light!" Between 1921 and 1923, electricity was wired into the church. There was none in Comac until after 1918, since Brindley Field in Comac was responsible for bringing it for its own use during World War I, and it became available to homes, stores, and the Church.</p><br>
<p>Also in 1923 new song books were purchased, and a gold lettered church sign was erected. In 1925 or 1926, the basement was dug out for the first time to install a furnace for comfortable warmth, and finally to get rid of the monstrous pipes overhead.</p><br>
<p>In 1939, in preparation for the 150th anniversary, the building was painted, landscaping of church grounds was improved, a circular driveway with Belgian blocks and a border were made, continuing along the sidewalk as a WPA project. The sign "Commack Methodist Church. The oldest Methodist Church edifice..." was erected and the World War I Honor Roll sign moved closer to the street on west side of building and a field was cleaned for parking area. Bishop Francis J. Mc Connel preached at the Sunday, October 1 evening service, with 125 attending, 54 guests registered, and an offering of $21.50.</p><br>
<p>Tuesday night was "Old Pastor&#39;s Night," with greetings by many former pastors and a brief historical sketch by Rev. William C. Craig, with 120 attending, and an offering of $24.25.</p><br>
<p>Thursday night was "Interdenominational Night," with greetings from many churches; hymn singing led by Dr. Richard L. Francis; and a history of the church given by Mrs. E. Shea, mother of Henry Shea; and greetings from Rev. J. Percival Huget, president of Suffolk County Council of Churches. The attendance was 230, and the offering, $30.50.</p><br>
<p>The Old Home Jubilee Meeting was held Sunday, October 8 at 3 p.m. with song service again led by Dr. Francis. A group photo taken in front of the building included some 125 of the 185 present. The address was given by Albert E. Beebe, superintendent of the Brooklyn North District. Attendance was 185 and offering, $34.25. Charles S. Gray was Pastor.</p><br>
<p>In 1952 remodeling included a new roof, new foundation, heating system, and some replacement floor beams, during the pastorate of R.R. Roberts, who also wrote a history of Methodism in Commack.</p><br>
<p>In 1957 because of increasing attendance, the first section of the Religious Education Building was completed at a cost of $60,000, and rented for three years for weekday use to the Commack Public Schools. In 1961, at a time of burgeoning population growth in Commack, a second unit was added at a cost of $70,000, and used by Suffolk County BOCES until 1973. During this period, Sunday School enrollment was over 200. Austin Armitstead was pastor in 1957, and Max Mobley in 1961. The appearance of the altar area was enhanced by additions of a reredos similar to that of historic St. George Church in Philadelphia.</p><br>
<p>In 1964 the 175th anniversary of the building was celebrated with a series of special Sunday services from September 20 – October 11, with guest speakers Rev. Harrison Davis, District Superintendent; Bishop Lloyd C. Wicke; Bishop Frederick B. Newell; Dr. Ross Linger, former pastor; and Dr. Henry Whyman, Executive Secretary of the New York Society. A gala dinner was held at the Huntington Town House. Mortgage was paid on the Religious Education building, and a vote was taken to purchase land for a new Sanctuary and Fellowship Hall.</p><br>
<p>The new sanctuary was dedicated in 1968, and the older building became known as the "1789 Chapel." It is still used for worship on the Sunday before July 4, and for Christmas Eve services, as well as by the Long Island Korean United Methodist Church.</p><br>
<p>A cemetery with graves dating from 1791 is adjacent to the chapel.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<p>Fort Golgotha and the Old Burial Hill Cemetery is the site of an historic cemetery, officially known as the "Old Burying Ground", and the location of a former Revolutionary War-era fort, known as Fort Golgotha, at Main Street  and Nassau Road in Huntington, New York. It is located in the Old Town Green Historic District and Old Town Hall Historic District.</p><br>
<p>The fort, which takes its name from Golgotha, was built by the Kings American Dragoons in 1782 on orders of Colonel Benjamin Thompson, commander of the regiment, on the site of the town burial ground. The nearby Presbyterian Church was dismantled, and its timbers used in the forts construction. The fort was one, of a network, of British fortifications, in and around Huntington. East of town there was a larger fortification on the site later known as Gallows Hill, now known as "Fort Hill", Fort Slongo (now known as Fort Salonga) even further to the east, and Fort Franklin to the north on Lloyd Neck. After all British forces withdrew from the region in 1783, the fort was dismantled, the burial grounds restored and the Presbyterian Church rebuilt. The site was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1981.</p><br>
<p>Old First Church is an historic Presbyterian church building at 125 Main Street in Huntington, Suffolk County, New York. It was built in 1784 and is a two and one-half-story building with a steeply pitched gable roof. About 1900, a two-story, five-gable-roofed addition was completed on the rear of the building. It features a tall, square, five-story bell tower that dominates the center of the main facade.</p><br>
<p>The church is actually the third church of the same name to stand in the area. The original was built in 1665, soon after the town&#39;s founding at what was the southwest corner of NY 25A and Spring Street. The first church was demolished when its size proved inadequate, even after expansion, and the second church erected in its present location in 1715. The second church was destroyed in 1782 for use in construction of fortifications by British troops occupying Huntington. The current church was rebuilt in the same location in 1784.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>

<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.</p><br>
<p>The Parish was founded by Henry Barclay (1778-1857), a son of Loyalist emigré Thomas Henry Barclay who returned to his native New York. Barclay was a local entrepreneur and landowner who sponsored infrastructure projects in the area, such as dams and bridges. In the 1820s, services were held at Barclay&#39;s house, eventually being moved to the new church in 1833. The building of the church was partially sponsored by the parishioners of Trinity Church, Broadway, where Barclay was a vestryman and had established ancestral connections. Shortly after the completion of the building, a spire was built, although this was lost during the 20th century.</p><br>
<p>In 1874, the Vanderpoel family commissioned a window designed by William Morris to be installed at the church. This window is thought to be the first such commission for an American client. In 1922, a window triptych nicknamed the "Tiffany Window" for its resemblance to the works of Louis Comfort Tiffany was installed in the Parish Hall. In 2019, the windows were re-attributed to Rudolph Geissler of Lederle and Geissler, a former employee of Tiffany and Co.</p><br>

<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>Revolutionary War</h3><br>
<p>The Old Fort House is a two-story, five-bay, center hall frame building, with a shallow gambrel roof. It is one of the oldest wooden frame structures in Northern New York and was built in 1772 by Patrick Smyth from timbers salvaged from Fort Edward. Major General Philip Schuyler inspected the old fort during the Saratoga Campaign five years later, and determined that it was in no condition as a place to make a stand against General John Burgoyne, and consequently sought a location farther south. Schuyler placed Benedict Arnold in command of the army&#39;s advance guards at Fort Edward. Arnold arrested Smythe for being a Loyalist.</p><br>
<p>Baroness Frederika Charlotte Riedesel, accompanied her husband, General Friedrich Adolf Riedesel, who led a regiment of soldiers from the Duchy of Brunswick, attached to Burgoyne&#39;s army. In her memoirs, she describes the Old Fort House as "the Red House".</p><br>

<h2>Early history</h2><br>
<p>In the late 1880s, New York architect Bradford Gilbert acquired nearly 1,000 acre in the Catskill Mountains in what is now Roscoe, New York. On this property, Gilbert constructed his summer retreat, Beaverkill Lodge. Gilbert&#39;s new wife, Maria, who was Irish, said "the Catskill scenery reminded her of home." She named the surrounding hamlet Craig-e-Clair which translates as "beautiful mountainside."</p><br>
<h2>Wurts-Dundas era</h2><br>
<p>In 1903, the Gilberts sold the property to Morris Stembach. Four years later, in 1907, Stembach sold it to Ralph Wurts-Dundas. Wurts-Dundas was a wealthy and prominent New Yorker, the grandson of William Wurts, one of three brothers who built the Delaware & Hudson Canal. He eventually shortened his name to Dundas.</p><br>
<p>Dundas wanted to expand the existing Beaverkill Lodge into the finest mansion his money could buy. For his European-style castle, Dundas imported slate roofing from England, iron gates from France, and marble from Italy for floors, fireplaces, and staircases. The only local product used was stone from the nearby Beaverkill River. The reception room&#39;s fireplace was covered in gold leaf and valued at more than $5,000 in 1910.</p><br>
<p>Designed in the Gothic Revival and Elizabethan Revival styles, the 36-room residence was constructed between 1910 and 1924, but never completed or occupied by Dundas or his wife Josephine because he died in 1921. The castle was inherited by their daughter Muriel, along with some $40 million, but she did not go back to the Catskills and the castle.</p><br>
<h2>Masons and Camp Eureka</h2><br>
<p>In 1949, Muriel sold the property for $47,000 to the Prince Hall Grand Lodge of the Masonic Order. This was a Manhattan-based organization of African-American Masons who wanted to create "a Masonic home for the aged and indigent." Unfortunately, that project did not happen, so the Masons developed the property into a vacation retreat, using a barn as a recreation center, an old farmhouse for administration, and the castle for a fishing and hunting resort. Over time, they added new structures and turned the property into a summer camp for inner-city youth. Named Camp Eureka, this is the main activity of the site today.</p><br>
<h2>Conservation</h2><br>
<p>The building and property were added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2001. In 2005, the Masons entered into a conservation easement with Open Space Conservancy. The easement limits future development on the property and protects its historic structures.</p><br>

<p>Old Lutheran Parsonage is a historic Lutheran church parsonage adjacent to Spring Street in Lutheran Cemetery in Schoharie, Schoharie County, New York. It was built in 1743 and is a -story building with basement. It is the oldest building in Schoharie County. And it&#39;s one of the oldest religious buildings remaining in New York State.</p><br>
<p>By the year 1742, the German Lutherans in the Schoharie Valley were well enough established, and prosperous enough, to build a church and to put in a call for a Lutheran pastor, ordained in Germany, to minister to the community.</p><br>
<p>Peter Nicholas Sommer, from Hamburg, Germany, answered the call and arrived in Schoharie in May of 1743. A parsonage was constructed and completed in September 1743. The building would serve as a Church, as well as a parsonage until a church could be built. That building was not completed until 1751.</p><br>
<p>By then Pastor Sommer had married Maria Keyser. The couple had four children by the time the church was built and by the time the American Revolution began, they were a family of ten.</p><br>
<p>The building was spared when the British forces burned the valley in 1780. A new parsonage was built in 1797 and the old building went through a variety of uses including rental property, and housing for the church sexton. By 1970 it was abandoned.</p><br>
<p>After a similar house of the same age was destroyed to build a power plant the Schoharie Colonial Heritage Association was formed to save any buildings from destruction. The Palatine house became available in 1972, and the building was restored and opened as a museum several years later.</p><br>
<p>SCHA continues to operate the museum today.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972. It is located in the St. Paul&#39;s Lutheran Church Historic District.</p><br>
<p>St. Johns Lutheran Church, also known as Zion St. Johns Lutheran Church, is a historic Lutheran church in Beekman Corners in Schoharie County, New York.

It was built in 1860 and features an open belfry with plan Tuscan columns that surmount the staged bell tower above the roof ridgeline. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.</p><br>
<p>The congregation had been founded in 1745, making it the oldest in the county. The first church was completed around 1787.

The congregation dwindled in the late 20th century and was consolidated with that of Zion Church of Seward in 1997; the last service was held July 10, 2011. In 2016 the bell was donated to the Sharon Historical Society, and is now on display outside its museum complex.</p><br>

<p>The Glenville School is a historic school building at 449 Pemberwick Road in the Glenville section of Greenwich, Connecticut, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003. It was one of several schools built in the town in the 1920s, when it consolidated its former rural school districts into a modern school system, with modern buildings.</p><br>
<p>Architect James O. Betelle, a specialist in school buildings, produced a Georgian Revival school similar to the seven other ones in the town. However, Glenville&#39;s is the only one built in a "T" shape, with the auditorium in a front wing. It soon became the major public building in this former mill community, and in 1975, after the elementary school moved to a more modern building, the existing facility became the home of the Western Greenwich Civic Center. In 2003 it was added to the National Register of Historic Places, both in its own right and as a contributing property to the Glenville Historic District.</p><br>
<h2>Building</h2><br>
<p>The school property is a 10 acre lot on Pemberwick Road, just southeast of the downtown section of Glenville, a section of Greenwich on the state line next to Rye, New York (Port Chester, N.Y.). It is across the street from the village green and the mill pond in the Byram River. The Hawthorne Woolen Mill that was once the economic center of Glenville, now used as stores and office space, is across Pemberwick to the southwest.</p><br>
<p>The building is located in the northwest corner of the lot. To the east are two baseball fields; Weaver Street bounds the property on that side. The southern and western sections are wooded, extending to Hawthorne Street North and Highview Road respectively and rear lot lines of houses on those streets. A diverse group of species, including London plane, sycamore, lindens and maples, have been planted.</p><br>
<h3>Exterior</h3><br>
<p>The school itself is faced in brick laid in Flemish bond trimmed with cast stone sills, keystones, and water table on a high basement. Both wings are topped with slate hipped roofs, with overhanging wooden eaves at the roofline. The two-and-a-half-story classroom wing, running east–west to the south, has an octagonal wooden cupola topped with bell roof and finial. Two small hip-roofed dormer windows pierce either end.</p><br>
<p>At the north end of the one-and-a-half-story auditorium wing is the main entrance, sheltered by a pedimented, tetrastyle portico. The six round wooden columns (two of which are engaged with the north facade) rising from the stylobate paved in basket weave-patterned brick three feet (1 m) below the water table to unusual capitals with acanthus leaves around a fluted neck. The entablature above echoes that with a fluted architrave, a plain frieze with "Bendheim Western Greenwich Civic Center" in gold lettering, and a dentilled cornice with Greek keys in the modillions. In the center is a round vent with directional keystones.</p><br>
<p>The wall behind the portico is faced in stucco. The main entrance&#39;s double wooden doors are recessed in a large round arch topped with a leaded fanlight and flanked by two fluted pilasters topped with a similar cornice to the pediment. Next to it are cast stone panels that top the narrow windows aside the pilasters. On either side of the portico are nine-over-nine sash windows.</p><br>
<p>On either side of the north wing, the six bays have four large round-arched windows with molded reveal and tracery. The north end has a regular casement window; the south end has no window. A set of steps lead down to the basement at the north end of the eastern face.</p><br>
<p>The auditorium wing divides the north face of the main wing into two identical sections with two-story, three-bay projecting pavilions and a three-bay hyphen with shed-roofed dormer window. On the western pavilion, a projecting entry bay is substituted for the easternmost window at ground level.</p><br>
<p>The east and west profiles have projecting bays with staircased entries. On the east it is centered with an arched window similar to those on the auditorium wing between two cast-stone belt courses and framed with some slightly projecting bricks. On the west end, a small flat-roofed extension projects to the south, and the fenestration consists of a row of five smaller arch windows between darker belt courses. The south elevation has windows in all ten bays on both stories.</p><br>
<h3>Interior</h3><br>
<p>The main doors open into a vaulted vestibule with paneled wainscoting and a chair rail. Tall pilasters support a simple, molded entablature and connect with the vault ribbing. Fluted pilasters also frame the door from the interior. A staircase with turned newel posts leads downstairs on the west side. A much shorter stairway leads into the auditorium through an entrance with an elliptical arch, molded keystone and molded impost blocks.</p><br>
<p>Pilasters also frame the windows within the auditorium, with picture panels between them. A molded cornice is at the ceiling line. The stage also has wainscoting and a molded chair rail.</p><br>
<p>Many original elements also remain in the classroom, though these are less decorative. Each hallway has an arched marble niche with a drinking fountain. At each end of the three hallways is a three-part wood and glass door with transom in textured glass. The hallways are all wainscoted.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The original Glenville school district dates to 1756. It served the small community that grew up around the gristmill on the Byram. By the late 19th century, it had been displaced by a textile mill employing mostly Irish immigrants who comprised most of the village&#39;s population. In 1882 a two-story brick building replaced the original one-room wooden schoolhouse.</p><br>
<p>In 1910 Greenwich consolidated its small local districts into one large one covering the whole town. Expansions to the mills had nearly doubled Glenvilles population, with more Polish immigrants coming in, and the school building became overcrowded. The buildings neglect and its educational impact, such as classes held in hallways, was the subject of a state report and then a scathing article on June 16, 1912 in The New York Times. Called "Rich Greenwich Spends More on Tires than Schools," it deplored how affluent Greenwich, which relied on philanthropy for much of its school funding, did not keep schools in working-class neighborhoods up to the same standards as those in richer ones.</p><br>
<p>The town began an ambitious building program to correct the issue. Originally the recommendation was that the existing Glenville School be retained and expanded, but later it was decided to build the new school. It absorbed students from several other closed schools in that part of town. James O. Betelle, a Newark, New Jersey, architect whose large institutional and commercial commissions specialize in schools, about which he wrote a great deal, contributed the design. It and two other schools in Greenwich are his only known work in Connecticut, aside from some buildings at what is now Central Connecticut State University in New Britain.</p><br>
<p>When built, the school originally sat on just the 3.3 acre immediately around it. On its dedication day in 1921, 600 people attended in addition to the 350 students it was designed to hold along with faculty. Classes were held for an hour prior to the ceremony so parents and visitors could observe how they were conducted. In addition to the traditional academic disciplines offerings included sewing, cooking and drawing. The Social Service League of Greenwich operated a large community medical clinic in the building for Glenville residents.</p><br>
<p>The school building quickly became the focal point of the neighborhood, displacing the declining mills that had given rise to the community in the first place. In 1931, the other 6.7 acre of the property were acquired and fields built. It was complemented by the two-acre (8,000 m) village green that the town bought in 1938, and the firehouse opposite.</p><br>
<p>Minor alterations were made to the interior in the middle of the century. The school remained in use until a new one was built on Riversville Road in 1975. It was immediately converted into a civic center, with upgrades made to its plumbing and heating. In the late 2000, it was extensively renovated. Few other modifications have been made, and it is the most intact of the schools Greenwich built in the early 20th century.</p><br>
<p>The civic center building is open on weekday mornings. Sundays, it is used for religious services; at other times it is used for community purposes, like Scout troop meetings, continuing education, a thrift shop, café, indoor sports and children&#39;s playgroups. The playground and fields are available for community use, as well. After the renovation, a weight room and day care center were also available.</p><br>
