Site of Old Main Street School and Main Street Academy

This was the site of the Old Main Street School and the Main Street Academy. The older, Old Main Street School, stood in front of the Main Street Academy, closer to Main Street. Neither building remains today, but the fenced-off triangular area next to the church marks the spot where the buildings stood. Stephen Crane attended school at the Old Main Street School from September 1878 until January of 1880, when he began going to the Mountain House School, where his sister Agnes taught.
