Brighamacademy
Established in 1879 by native son Peter Bent Brigham (who also named a hospital after himself in Boston, one of the three hospitals which became Brigham & Women's Hospital). The growing availability of public education eventually forced the school to close. Sketchy details suggest this was c1966. A movement to rehabilitate the building as town offices and elementary school classrooms has met with stiff opposition; the future of the building is uncertain. – Mfwills, CC BY-SA 3.0 – Wikimedia Commons
