The Warrensburgh Academy was
built in 1854 on property on the corner of Elm Street and what is now Stewart
Farrar Street, deeded to the Academy by Linus D. Barnes. A two-story
structure was built of stone by Union Free School became a high school under
the New York State Board of Regents. About this time, the old Union Free School
and Academy building proved too small to care for the ever-increasing number of
students. After much heated debate and voting, it was finally decided to
build a new structure. The new building, constructed of native
stone by Jonah Hess of Johnstown on the same site, was completed in 1898
and served for nearly fifty years. (See Warrensburg Central School.)
