A brief history of Garden Street School . . .
Originally built in the late 1800's, Garden Street School burned to the ground and was rebuilt in 1925. The school served as the sole educational facility in Brewster until the Henry H. Wells "High School" was built in 1959. Over the years, two additions were built. The existing building stands as a 75 year old landmark for the District and the community.
More recently, Garden Street School has served as a K-5 elementary school facility. In 1990, the fifth grade was moved to the H. H. Wells Middle School to alleviate an overcrowding situation at GSS. Eight years later, Garden Street School said good-bye to fourth grade students and staff, as they found a new home at C. V. Starr Intermediate School.
