Built in 1908, the school had "eleven classrooms, a library, a laboratory, and rooms for physical education." It also had a "modern heating system, lavatories, large windows and electric lights." The cost for this building was $42,000. Parents had to sign a form "documenting that their children had studied three hourse on a daily basis." source: A History of Barton Vermont by Darlene Young.
