  Charles Sumner School – Then & Now (100+ years later)
  
  After it closed in 1978, Sumner School was in disrepair and was saved from demolition through an organized community effort. Through the concerted efforts of Richard L. Hurlbut and others, a meticulous $5 million renovation was undertaken from 1984 to 1986. [1] [2]
  
  An addition was added to the rear (as shown in more recent photograph) which is almost indistinguishable from the original building. Some details of the original retaining wall appear to remain in place, albeit the landscaping and streetscape have changed significantly.
