Additional Description: Inside the main exhibit building. It reads: Williamsville School No.9. This school stood on the northwest corner of Smith and New Roads. Built in 1880 it schooled children until the 1950s. In 1973, threatened by growing development, it moved to the museum.

When it first arrived, the school was thought to be red originally. Working with the Buffalo State Art Conservation department on paint analysis, it was determined that the original color was yellow and the school was repainted to its original color.

When this building traveled down New Road to the Museum's current site, the Museum paid for dropping every utility line. How many utility lines do you see crossing the street when you ride down New Road?
