CAYUGA LAKE ACADEMY - A Home School for Boys

Albert Somes, A.M., Director - Aurora, N.Y.

Great little piece of historical ephemera!  Thanks to Temple Rice Hollcroft in his "Brief History of Aurora, NY" for this tidbit of information...

"During several years prior to World War I, Albert Somes conducted a private school in the Academy building. In 1920 the building was remodeled for the public school of Aurora and vicinity. The local public school, now called Cayuga Lake Academy, continued to use the Academy building for twenty-five years until April 19, 1945, when it was destroyed by fire."
