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.)
