Old Elementary School Converted Into Apartment Building (Scotia, New York)
A postcard of Mohawk School dated 1919
Mohawk Elementary School was built in 1917 to replace another school of the same name. The school was located in Scotia, New York and was a part of the Scotia-Glenville Central School District before closing due to declining enrollment in 1981. The original 1917 portion of the building has since been repurposed as an apartment building, while the 1954 expansion is now home to a YMCA daycare. While I feel that closing this particular school was a mistake (which is a long story in of itself), and I am concerned about the condition of the building, I'm nevertheless glad that it is still around.
