Haskell School, Historic school building in Troy, New York.
The Haskell School stands as a three-story Renaissance Revival structure built from red brick with limestone basement foundations and distinctive terra cotta architectural details.
Constructed in 1894 and named after Robert Haskell, the former Board of Education President, this educational facility served the Troy community for over eight decades until its closure in 1975.
For generations of Troy residents, the Haskell School represented the community's commitment to public education and served as both an academic institution and social gathering place throughout the 20th century.
Originally listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003, the building was later converted to residential apartments in 1977 before being demolished in August 2023 due to structural safety concerns.
The school featured a remarkable two-story gated entrance arch with 'Haskell School' inscribed in a terra cotta frieze, making it one of Troy's most recognizable educational landmarks for over a century.
