My husband and I recall the tiered classroom was used for the science classes of biology, chemistry, and physics with a Lab accessed through an internal door in the room. The school had a Shop classroom, a Mechanical Drawing classroom, a Home Economics classroom with sewing machines and attached full kitchen facilities in addition to Library, Art Room, Chorus and Band rooms. I don't remember there just being a wide open space on any floor in or all the skylights. Space was put to good use. My spouse and I graduated in 1958 in the last senior class to do so from this building. The building still reflects it's architectural beauty .

My mom graduated from this school in 1937. I attended 4th through 6th grade here from 1960-1963. Your video brought back so many memories. It’s been heart breaking to see it deteriorate over all of these years. When the previous owner had the school, he contracted my brother to remove all the cast iron radiators from all of the rooms. He said it was in rough shape then. Thank you for posting this video.

In the late 1950s, many school districts "centralized", a process in which small, rural one- and two-room elementary schools were incorporated into larger, centralized school buildings. This building was converted from "Silver Creek High School" (which both my parents attended) into a 3-6 elementary school in 1960. I was in the first group of elementary students who attended this school which became known as the "Main Street Elementary" or just the "Main Street School." I remember all the classrooms from my four years there. The large room at the back of the building was the cafeteria. One floor directly above was the gym. The large classroom on the second floor was the art room and the even larger room on the third floor was the music room. I don't know what the tiered room on the second floor was used for in the original high school, but in the early sixties it was used for audio-visual presentations and as a room for instrumental music lessons. I was in the elementary band that rehearsed on the stage, and I also sang in chorus. I eventually became a music teacher myself. At age 70 now, I am amazed at all the memories this video has revived from when I was age seven through eleven. I'd love to talk to you more about this building.

At 7:25 that was my old 4th grade classroom on the first floor. Delia Doerschug was the teacher. 1979 was the last school year for this building. At 5:00 in the main entrance is where we would all come down during Christmas and sing songs in front of a huge tree loaded with lights and ornaments. What great memories!

Thanks for the memories! Graduated there in 1950. I often brag about this school and recall the very wide range of subjects offered here. One fourth of us took the college entrance track, offering latin, chemistry,biology, physics, algebra,intermediate algebra, plane geometry, trigonometry, and solid geometry. And if course, language and history. Band and orchestra and choir were options for all tracks. The automotive, metal shop, wood shop, electrical shop were great, for a town of 3000. Then there was homemaking and commercial tracks. Any grad was prepared for employment. The big gym and auditorium were loved. Management thought that the sports field was too far from the school and that was an unfortunate reason why the central school was built. Instead of refurbishing this solid building. Asbestos was a further excuse.... an engineer could have told the board that there is no hazard in handling asbestos insulation: the problem was the asbestos dust clouds at the insulation factory.

I was part of the last 6th grade class to "graduate" from this building in 1979. Somewhere I likely have the black and gold t-shirt that commemorated our class as such... all our names were listed on the back. During warm weather, I used to walk here from my home across town. I do not remember any skylights, lol, but I was a kid so who knows? I do remember at Christmas time, all the classrooms would meet in the downstairs main lobby and on the stairway and sing Christmas songs. Many happy memories here

1978/79 was the last school year it was used as a school. It was the only year I attended this building and it was in pretty rough shape then. If memory serves the music room and library were on the 3rd floor, health office and art room on the second, main office was to the right of the entrance looking at the building. The cafeteria was at the back of the building, I think 2nd floor. There were no lockers in the hallways, just open coat racks with wire shelves across the top and a shoe/boot shelf. My classroom was the second on the left, first floor if you entered using the ramp with the steps at the back of the building.

Performing on the stage- climbing ropes in the gym- and oh, so many wonderful classmates. We were lucky to have experienced attending school in this fine building in the days- very sad to go back to town and see this rotting away-- watching the video, could recall the entire place of my youth by heart!

I attended that school from 2nd grade until 5th. I was part of the only 2nd grade class to attend that school, due to over-flow, from the K-2 school that was across the street. I performed on that stage in a Mary Poppins musical as well. Brings back many memories. The room at 10:50 was actually the art room. Yes, it was quite large for an art room. I'm surprised that you left out the humungous hole that now exists in the wall on the top floor. My beloved building, which I still look at every day, I've been a "Towny" my whole life, should just be torn down. It is now an eyesore, from the outside, and a hazard, because of pests and falling decayed wall structure. I hope you didn't inhale any of the asbestos. You're a braver man than I.

This video reminds me so much of the much smaller school I went to for 2/3 grade and again for 7th. The stairways brought back the memory of how worn the treads were in my day at that school. It's been torn down years ago but seeing this one made me miss those 'school days'. Also watching the video I started wondering when/why they stopped putting such nice big windows in schools. Don't think there are many now over maybe 3 stories. Must have been quite something at one time! (I see someone posting the subjects taught back then - don't think there's much to compare that to nowadays)

Was your mother Marie Richie and your dad called Red? If so, she was my dear cousin and had a beautiful soprano voice. She sang at my husband and my wedding. Even our parents went to this school, if they went past 8th grade, and in some classes we had the same teachers, teaching over two generations. Teachers were different back then, than now. They were true teachers and dedicated to preparing us students to be successful in life. My husband and I met each other in one of the first floor classrooms in 5th grade in Mrs. Wentworth's homeroom when the school was first centralized in 1950. We graduated in 1958 and were in the last senior class to graduate out of this building. I am Sherry Bull, married to Gene Bull, and we live in Pinehurst NC. Gene was class president. I was valedictorian. This building still reflects it's architectural beauty. I don't remember all the skylights. We both remember the tiered room to be the science room where biology, chemistry, physics teacher Mr. Lindstrom taught. Adjoining it was the Lab. I remember the gym and thought it had some viewing balcony seats accessed via the floor above. When I think back to all the facilities, we were very fortunate. In addition to the basic subjects, we had a great library, art room, mechanical drawing in addition to art room, shop room, home economics with full kitchen and sewing machines, band room as well as chorus room, gym with lockers and showers and access to the villages ball fields a short walk away. The teachers were the BEST. They would have never done any of us harm or seduced us as is common today. Those of us in the village walked to and from school. Buses were only provided for youngsters living out of the village limits. Our choruses, bands, and sports teams won many honors and titles because the teachers and coaches led us to do our best. In this small town there was no discrimination between us students. Whether your parents worked in the small factories in the area, were farmers, were professionals or business owners, were wealthy or poor, were black or white, we all were just friends in this school. No bullying, no fighting, no snobs. Life was good.

David...My dad Angelo Cuccia was a brother of your grandmother Josephine Panzarella, Aunt Jay we called her. She and Uncle Frank lived on Burgess St. My parents built a home at 59 Robinson St. Am I remembering correctly that your parents had two daughters and you? Somehow we did learn of your Mom's passing in 2020. Was it COVID? Antoinette Williams the youngest of my Dad's siblings also died that year. Did you know that at the end of every Christmas Eve service at Mt. Carmel Catholic church your Mom sang the Ave Maria? It was so beautiful. We'd all go back to Grandma Cuccia's house and eat Italian sausage in grandma's home made rolls and get back to our own houses about 3 am. We were back to Silver Creek, Sheridan and Dunkirk last summer and visited all the cemeteries of my family and Gene's. We have about 15-20 relatives yet there. We used to get back every fall before Covid as we would attend a reunion and football game at Syracuse University with Gene's college buddies. We both will be 83 in a few weeks and married 60 years in July. We have two sons, 5 bloodline grandchildren, 3 new through marriage of three of those grandchildren. Our immediate family members live in VA, MA, IN, FL, and NC. It is wonderful to hear back from you. Tell me more about you and your family.

Yes. Quite cost prohibitive. That's putting it mildly. The other issue is, after the late 1800s, Silver Creek was a small port, and mill town. When boat and train were primary means of transportation, the village thrived. Decline started around the late 50s, when the thruway was built, and traffic on 5&30 died down. Place was on life support by the mid 80s, and critical by 90, when we moved there, back in mom's case. The scale of economy im the area jiat can't supprt a project of the scale needed to fix the place, and even tearing it down, is not an economical option. Sadly, I see it falling within my lifetime, and I wouldn't want to be down wind, when, not if, it does.

While the building may be in disrepair, seeing videos of it in this condition bring back all the GOOD memories of attending from grades 3-6. HOWEVER, glad you didn't go up to the showers in the gym. That was NOT a happy memory for me! Hated them! The locker room you have in your video was to the girls locker room. As for the room with the tiered seating, it was the audio visual room. One kid per classroom was selected to learn the audio visual equipment, and the class either went to this room or equipment was brought into the classroom, and the child who knew how to operated the equipment did so. I wasn't selected until 6th grade, so I had limited time running the projectors. The auditorium once was a regal hall! And, in the gym there is seating that appears to be walled in partially at this point. My mother was a cheerleader, and has since passed. I can't recall if she said they cheered down on the floor or up in the seats. Thank you for this. I hope hi brings attention to the right person who can restore it in time for me to move back and live there!

Been like that as long as I remember. Started visiting in 83, mom was class of 71, and moved there in 90. Never got to see it any other way than run down. Graduated in 93, and used to sneak in sometimes. Always found it relaxing and peaceful, when I had the placs to myself. One of mom's most vivid memories was sitting in class on 22 November, 1963, and hearing about the assassination of JFK. One weel after her 9th birthday. Stoppes ny, to lool at the building, and she pointed out the classroom window, that her desk sat by. We sat on the bikes, and she told me about it. Was an interesting feeling, family history, crossed by world history. Same with standing there, 3600 miles from where I was born. A moment that I never even considered possible, the first 16 years of my life.

About 5 miles west of the I 90, exit 58, along route 20. Silver Creek and Irving NY exit. Used to pass it every morning to get to the Central School. 90 to 93.

My parents went to that school, I went to it's successor. Unfortunately the building has been neglected for so long, and is full of asbestos and the flooding problem I don't think it's salvageable at this point.

Damn. A comment from someone I know. Yeah. Talkong to mom, and my uncles, as well as menbers of the Hopkins and Mohart families, as well as a few of the fosters, it was already having issues when mom attended on the early 60s. Worse when J Mohart was there, late 60s, and when jis wife attended. Still remember sneaking in with friends, after movong to Irving in late 90, after dad retired. Was getting really bad then. Wife and I drive by it now, and it seems like each time we do, more bricks have fallen. Paat trip by, the west wall of the third floor is gone. Big open hole. Damn shame. Part of why no one dod anyrhing with it is that, over the laat 30 years, it has become more work and expense than the property is worth, even to just take it down. Complete renovation would cost even more. But. At least they were able to savw the elementary school, the next street east. Senior and disabled housing with that one.

1979 was the last year it was open , so 44 years, if my Silver Creek math is correct. I was in the last 5th grade class there. The K-2 across the street (Babcock Ave) was sold and turned into apartments.

That is a very cool school building and that one different classroom is very cool as well and as soon as I saw it my first thought was that it's that way because of that very cool ceiling in the entryway that you showed earlier on

That might be the reason because that tiered classroom used for biology, chemistry, and physics classes likely was right above it. That room was on the second floor near the center. But there should have been a second tiered classroom to accommodate the full Groin Vaulted ceiling below and I don't remember a second tiered classroom. Class of 1958.

@@Zachalackalackalack My husband confirms there was only one classroom like that but perhaps the other side was used as a storage closet on the second floor. The teacher's desk sat on foor level in a narrow space at the bottom and had an internal door that led to the large Lab attached. A small Latin language classroom adjacent on the high end of the tier, that might have been next down the hall, possibly was same size as the science teacher's desk area. Together, the possible closet and Latin room size could have accommodated the Groin Vaulted ceiling below. We were teens, so we were into Elvis and Bill Haley and the Comets, not architecture Looking back and remembering all that school offered us students re education, we had a lot.

Our Class of 1958 was the last Senior Class to graduate out of this building. Considering the village of Silver Creek NY only has had about 3000 residents, they provided us with a beautiful building and a well-rounded curriculum for our time. Of course, centralization helped but it also added to the operating costs.

Sadly this structure is way to far gone to renovate. Would easily cost over $500k just for the remediation and demo before any new construction. All the collapsed ceiling areas are indicative of roof failure, which translates into major amounts of rotten wooden structural components, which would all need to be replaced prior to new roof. Once the roof is compromised it's essentially the end of the building, especially in cold climate regions like this as can be seen where plaster gas fallen off brick work. Water saturated these porus areas and when temps drop below freezing it expands and destroys masonry
