If anyone has the information about South Street School I would also like it. My grandfather's aunt, Carrie Shotthafer, was a teacher there from approximately 1887 to 1895 when she died. If there is a source for other historical buildings, could that be passed along? My Gr. Gr. Gr. Grandfather, William Jones, built many buildings in the Utica area in the 1800's. So I don't have to type all this in, below is a section from his obituary of buildings he helped to build. If anyone know of these, please let me know. (Obituary) Following his occupation as mason and contractor, he had constructed 120 of this city's stone and brick buildings and many frame structures. He first secured work on the Utica State Hospital, then called the Lunatic Asylum, which was being built, and he worked there two years. Then he began business for himself, and he had been in partnership at different times with Joseph Hirt, William L. Jones, Owen Jones and Thomas Birt. Mr. Jones built the Tibbets and Bradish blocks, on Genesee street; the Barnes block, on John street, near Bleecker; the Ladies' Seminary; the Utica Orphan Asylum and the addition to it; the Utica Weigh Lock; the City Hall; Steuben and Hamilton street schools, which were the first two public schools in the city; Court street school and the addition to the State Asylum. He built two additions to the Glove Woolen Mill and the wool warehouse, and after the Glove Woolen Mills were destroyed by fire rebuilt that factory. He also built the Church of the Reconciliation, Grace Church, Grace Church Chapel, Calvary Chruch, St. Luke's the First Methodist on Court street, Bethesda Church on Washington street, and the addition to the First Presbyterian Church, which comprises the church parlors and the rooms over them. At Forest Hill Cemetery he built the Childs's Chapel and the Cozzens and Stockings vaults, and also the chapel in St. Agnes's Cemetery.. He erected the Walcott and Campbell residences in New York Mills, ant one time considered the finest in this section, the bridge over the Sauquoit at Yorkville, large chimneys at Clayville and Ilion, the Butterfield flats on Layfayette street and superintended The construction of the Oriskany monument. The last work in the building line that he did was as inspector on the laying of the sewer at the Masonic Home. Mr Jones quarry in New Hartford furnished the foundation stone for many of the buildings he erected, and he had five or six men constantly at work there. ----- Original Message ----- From: <Dschottsr@aol.com> To: <NYONEIDA-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, October 21, 1999 8:02 AM Subject: [NYONEIDA-L] Pictures?? > Does anyone out there have picture or pictures of the old South Street School > in Utica.
