The school carries the name A.D. Oliver from a figure in local history. Residents view it as a landmark that has guided generations of students through their school years and holds a place in many family stories across Brockport.
The building sits on Allen Street in central Brockport and is easy to spot from outside due to its distinctive Tudor Revival architecture with characteristic bricks and stone elements. Visitors should understand this is a functioning school building, so access for outsiders is limited.
Local stories report unusual occurrences in the building, particularly in the evening hours, giving the historic schoolhouse a sense of mystery. While these reports are not confirmed, they form part of local folklore and make the school a place with a special character in the community.
