Sacket of Sacket and Park, with an attached gymnasium added in 1928.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the school is a distinctive, intact example of an early twentieth-century small village school. Its form, plan, oversize windows and symmetrical layout reflect New York State standards for space, light, ventilation and heat per pupil. The large high school study room and specialized rooms show the community's commitment to an expanded high school curriculum. It was the last of eight local school buildings built in Camillus over a century.","narrative":"Built in 1912-13 on First and LeRoy Streets in Camillus, this two-story brick school on a raised basement was designed by Eugene H. Sacket of the Syracuse firm Sacket and Park. Its symmetrical west facade has projecting classroom pavilions, large windows to meet lighting standards, cast-stone trim, a metal cornice and a Doric entrance portal. A gymnasium was added to the north in 1928 and is counted with the original building. The school was the last of eight school buildings constructed in the community over about a century. Its plan and appearance follow state rules on space, ventilation, heat and light per pupil, and a large second-floor high school study room, with specialized rooms for science, language and math, reflects an expanded secondary curriculum. The interior keeps much original maple flooring, oak trim and blackboards. The cupola was removed after a 1951 fire, and a 1965 elementary wing was left out of the boundary. The building is now vacant.","period_of_significance":"1912-1928","architect_builder":"Eugene H.
