This Saturday is Family Day at Gilman School, and this year I'll be visiting as the old Upper School building, now known as Carey Hall, is preparing to undergo an extensive renovation. It's a $35 million improvement plan for this part of the campus that also includes a new student center, replacing and expanding a 1970's addition. Since I graduated back in 1980, the campus has already replaced the Middle and Lower School buildings, among other construction projects, but the campus' original building has remained the same (unairconditioned) piece of living history. It was built in 1910 for 175 students and 12 faculty members, but today it holds 400 students and 64 faculty.
Just a few months ago, fellow grad Reggie Harris ('78) and I had lunch with more living history from Gilman School - former faculty members A. J. Downs and Carey Woodward.
