The Fifth Building
Overcrowding soon resulted in the need for yet another Academy. So, a fifth building was built in 1911 for $53,000. Located in the Ashby area at the corner of Terrace and Park streets. This building later became known as "the Old Academy" and eventually became Park Junior High.

Famous quotes containing the word building:
“No: until I want the protection of Massachusetts to be extended to me in some distant Southern port, where my liberty is endangered, or until I am bent solely on building up an estate at home by peaceful enterprise, I can afford to refuse allegiance to Massachusetts, and her right to my property and life. It costs me less in every sense to incur the penalty of disobedience to the State than it would to obey. I should feel as if I were worth less in that case.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
