St.
Paul’s School, 1883
1883 Nassau County, garden city
landmark status: Listed on the National Register, 1978.
threat: Neglect, possible demolition, vacancy.
Active as a school for 90 years, the property (including the school
and 48 acres) was sold by the Episcopal Diocese to the village
in 1993. While the village uses the land as playing fields, the
school itself has been in danger of being demolished due to a lack
of local commitment to developing a viable reuse plan. To save
the building, it will be necessary to convince a broad array of
community stakeholders that it is architecturally and economically
feasible to reuse St. Paul’s School in ways that respect
its outstanding High Victorian Gothic design.
