Watertown High School building fate debated for civic center
The Watertown board of education may transfer control of the abandoned Sterling street building to the city for municipal use or raze it. Rotary Club backs converting the structure into a civic center and John B. Harris Memorial Center. Estimates for conversion run from 250000 to 500000 dollars, with city hall as a less likely option due to cost. No immediate action expected.
