Amwell Academy (Courtesy of the Historic American Building Survey, Library of Congress) | Additional Description: The HABS data sheet for this structure indicates that title to the land was given from Titus Quick and his wife to the Amwell Academy trustees on May 1, 1811, and that much of the work on the building was contributed by local masons, carpenters and farmers. The building was used as a school until 1830, when it closed. The Larisons opened their seminary, open to both sexes, in 1869, and operated it until its closure in 1881.
