It is also a typical nineteenth-century ward school, one of only two of the city's four originally built that retain substantial architectural integrity. The 1890 main block is attributed to local architect Orlando K. Foote.","narrative":"Saltonstall Street School, at 47 Saltonstall Street in Canandaigua, is a one-story, T-shaped building of brick and wood frame. Its rear section dates to about 1875, and the main block was added in about 1890 to designs attributed to local architect Orlando K. Foote, with Albion Ellis as builder. The main block has a gable roof topped by a belvedere with a pyramidal roof and prominent finial. A corbelled brick belt course runs below the cornice, and the street-facing gable carries clapboard with decorative vertical boards and a panel reading \"Public School.\" Its asymmetrical massing and eclectic detail make it a local example of Queen Anne public architecture. It is also a typical nineteenth-century ward school: of four originally built in the city, it and the Adelaide Avenue School are the only two to keep substantial architectural integrity. Once a school, the building now has a commercial use. A long concrete block wing at the rear is not considered contributing.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Architect: Orlando K.
