Something Old

My "something old" (besides myself) is located in the Village of Camillus.  It's the Camillus Union Free School, built in 1912.  Bernie attended this school through sixth grade.  He thinks they decided to build a bigger, newer school and closed this one.  In the 1990's, the building was resurrected as an assisted living center.  Inside, many of the historical features remain.   We hear that some of the apartments have the actual blackboards in them and, likely because of some government grant used to refurbish these places, they cannot be removed or tampered with.  I'm not sure how something like that would affect your decor, but it sure sounds unique.  This building also serves as our community's Senior Citizens Center.  It's lovely.
