Fullerton.","why_significant":"The school was built with a Public Works Administration fire-hazard school grant (45% outright) as part of New Deal public works, and it served as a rural centralized school and community center. It is also presented as a representative, well-preserved example of Fullerton's Colonial Revival school work.","narrative":"Jeffersonville School is a T-shaped, two-story brick central school on a hilltop above the village of Jeffersonville in Sullivan County, New York. Opened in September 1939, it has a steel-frame and concrete structure, red brick in Flemish bond, a slate roof, and a central cupola with a clock tower. Its five-part Palladian composition and Georgian entrance give it a formal, monumental look. Inside, black Grand Island marble pilasters, terrazzo floors, oak trim, an auditorium-gymnasium, and a paneled library survive largely intact. The building was designed by Albany architect Harold O. Fullerton and funded in part by a 45 percent Public Works Administration grant aimed at replacing fire-prone schools and consolidating rural districts. It served as a center for community dinners, dances, health fairs, and sports. A one-story addition from 1960 and several later outbuildings have not greatly changed the original building's character, and it remains in use as a school.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Harold O.
