Conant High School and Union Hall, School Street. The Union Hall housed Conant high school and the District 2 elementary school on the ground floor and a dance hall on the second floor. Dedicated on July 4, 1854, the building was in use until 1937. Conant was accommodated in the “north room” until a wood annex was built which was used until the new high school on Stratton Road was opened in 1916. The cupola was removed but when and for what reason are not known. The school bell which had hung in the cupola is on permanent display at the Civic Center. Early 1900s. From Jaffrey Then & Now, 1994.
