	Erasmus Hall High School

	RAMBLES OF OLD BROOKLYN
		A subscription paper was started, and it was not long before a spot was chosen for the new school in the centre of the village on Main Road (now Flatbush Avenue), opposite the court-house and near the place where the village school-house stood.
		There is hardly a question that these youths of early Erasmus Hall did play their pranks, though nothing worse than stealing apples is on record against them.
		Mr.J. of Flatlands, has an interesting note in his diary of October 13, 1792, to this effect: "Went to the meeting to the church about the Academy boys, who had played the d--l." Erasmus Hall in 1896 was transferred to the city of Brooklyn, and in 1905 the new Erasmus Hall High School was begun.

	City Journal Spring 1998 \| Why New York Can’t Build Schools by E. V. Kontorovich
		Schools that were monuments of civic confidence and shrines to learning—Erasmus Hall in Brooklyn, say, whose grand Gothic quadrangle opened in 1896, or Manhattan’s Wadleigh High School, with its magnificent bell tower and ornately molded cornices—had long since fallen into disrepair, their grandeur as forgotten as separate entrances for boys and girls.
		The SCA was five years into the renovation of Erasmus Hall before it finally got a fix on the building’s condition.
		At Erasmus Hall, for example, the agency and the Fire Department blamed one another for placing holding rooms designed to protect handicapped people during a fire in a dangerous place, where they might not escape.

	How Many Schools Have Ties to Both Burr and Barbra?
		Erasmus Hall High School, originally Erasmus Hall Academy, is the oldest secondary school in New York State.
		The private school was donated to the City of Brooklyn in 1896, and the collection of buildings that are being designated today were built in four stages from 1905 to 1940.
		After the consolidation of New York City and its school system in 1898, Erasmus Hall was expanded as part of an effort to meet the demands of a growing student population, fueled first by an influx of immigrants, and later by the passage of a compulsory education law.
