South Academy Building
Description
This is the first known photograph of the South Academy building of the St. Lawrence Academy, circa 1850. The South Academy building opened in 1837. The first floor was used primarily for the teacher department classrooms while the upper three floors were dormitories and a recitation room.
State aid for teacher training led to an increase in enrollment and the need for additional classrooms and more dormitory space. The South Academy Building was constructed to accommodate those needs.
