The main building, or home, contsin.
ing two stories, attic and basement, was
constructed in 1s4s, and opened as the
Alger institute by Rev E. W. Andrews.
Since then the school has continued its
work under several administrations.
From time to time additions to the plant
have been made. In 1884 the school
building devoted entirely to classrooms
was built by townsmen J. w. and s. G.
Beers, and later, S. G. Beers bequeathed
to the school sum of money. The
school is free from debt. The buildings
have recently been renovated and
steam heating plant installed with radi-
ating surface sufficient to comfortably
heat the entire building. Pure spring
water Is obtained from the .neighboring
hills through private pipe, and the
laundry and bath are supplied with hot
and cold water. The home is in the old
colonial style facing the south, with
magnificent views in alldirections. The
rooms are large and commodious, such
as architects Of half century ago were
pleased to produce. A detached annex
in the rear furnishes quarters for the SER
wants. The school building Is a two and
a half story structure large enough to
accommodate the several departments Of
the school. Both buildings are surround
ed by shade trees and lawn suitable for
tennis and other sports. A level field at
short distance is the property of the
school and used for an athletic ground.
A room in the school building is fitted
with the simpler forms of gymnastic ap-
paratus and used for exercise in stormy
weather. The laboratories and wood
working department are provided with
suitable accommodations In the basement
of the main building. While the apra-
ratus and furnishings are not luxurious,
they are neat, and sufficient to ensure
the accomplishment of the aims of the
school. Cornwall enjoys the enviable
reputation AZ healthfal aud quiet place
