Demolition Begins at Acton Public School Site
Demolition crews moved this week to raze the old Robert Little Public School section to clear land for a modern addition. The 1850 building, expanded in 1892 and 1914, suffered a major fire in October 1986 and will be replaced after generations of local use and eight principals. The move follows decades of memories and a plan to provide updated classrooms for Acton.
