Readers of the Georgetown Independent / Acton Free Press were surprised to read of the demolition of the former #6 School Section on 15 Sideroad. The following article appeared in the August 26th edition of the newspaper. ee Press, Wednesday, August 26,1998 3 The former Stewarttown Public School, which was home to students for more than 100 years was demolished last week. Photo courtesy Robert Stubbs Century-old school comes tumblin' down The old Stewarttown public school, which was attended by area school children for more than 100 years, was torn down last Tuesday. Local historian Mark Rowe said the school, which was known as School Section #6 in Esquesing, was erected in 1853 and a second storey was built in 1873. Rowe said the second storey was removed in 1897, portables were erected at the school in 1954 and the school was closed in 1958. After the closure, students attended the new Stewarttown School across the road. Joan Hayes, a warden of St. John's Anglican Church, which bought the school and property after the school was closed, said the building had sat empty for some time, was unsafe and it would have cost too much to repair. She said with the old building gone, which formerly housed Brigg's Upholstery business, there are future plans to move the church onto that lot. Esquesing Historical Society Newsletter 6
