The grammar school operated from 1927 to 1983,
when it was a victim of budget cuts and increased competition from private schools.
Its plaster and hardwood were more expensive to maintain than newer concrete block schools.
For a school its architecture was elegant,
using an 1863 bequest "for a school in Summerville."
It has produced two or more generations of community leadership
(both professional and volunteer) --
medical, religious, educational, cultural, business --
in Augusta or in whatever towns the alumni live.

has been skillfully repurposed as
