It is now known as the A.D. Oliver School and serves as the middle school.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the school is architecturally significant under Criterion C as an intact English Tudor Revival school designed by Harwood B. Dryer of Dryer & Dryer Architects, Rochester. Its exterior form and details were inspired by Hampton Court, and its interior includes auditorium stained-glass windows of American historic figures. It also reflects the Brockport school system, the first in Monroe County to be centralized, in 1927.","narrative":"Built in 1934 at 40 Allen Street in Brockport, this school was designed by Rochester architect Harwood B. Dryer in the English Tudor Revival style. Its three-story brick walls, laid in Flemish bond, are trimmed with Indiana limestone and topped with slate roofs and small turrets. Molded bricks and terracotta panels scattered across the building name historic figures and events, including Lincoln, Mary Jane Holmes, the Erie Canal and the War of 1812. The design drew inspiration from Hampton Court, and the interior includes auditorium stained-glass windows depicting American historic figures. A gymnasium section was added in 1956, and a 1996 addition is not counted as historic. The school represents the Brockport Central Rural School, the first district in Monroe County to centralize, in 1927. Today it operates as the A.D. Oliver School, the district's middle school, on a campus with a flag pole and ornamental lamp posts that are counted as contributing features.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Harwood B.
