## Structures

### First building (1808–?)

Nathaniel Graniss, an early area settler, felt there was need for a school in the area, and deeded land where a school was built in 1808. The building was renovated into a church in 1830, and school rooms were relegated to the basement. The church moved down the street to occupy a different building in 1864, and the building was once again utilized entirely as a school. The facility was then named after [Theodore Dwight Woolsey](/source/Theodore_Dwight_Woolsey). In 1873, another school was constructed on Woolsey Street, taking up the **Woolsey School** name. The original building was then renamed **Grand Street School** or **Fair Haven School**.[4]

### Second building (1895–1914)

A new building replaced the old one in 1895 and was renamed the **Horace H. Strong School** after a Warden for [Fair Haven](/source/Fair_Haven,_Connecticut) and member of the Fair Haven Board of Education. The building burned down on January 27, 1914.[5]

### Third building (1915–2011)

The third structure was built in 1915[6] at 69 Grand Ave in the Collegiate [Tudor](/source/Tudor_Revival_architecture)[7] style of architecture. While at this site, it was an overflow school for [district](/source/School_district) [kindergartners](/source/Kindergarten) and first graders.[8] It had a student population of approximately 277[9] utilizing a 1.055-acre (4,270-square metre) site.[10]

### Fourth building (2011–present)

Strong School was moved in 2011 to the former [Vincent Mauro school](/source/Vincent_Mauro_school), located Orchard Street in New Haven.[11]
