CLOSTER PUBLIC SCHOOL
In 1899 the schoolhouse
property was bought from the
Bloomer family. The following
year a two story, square plan,
Renaissance Revival style
building was completed with 3
classrooms and an assembly
room for grades K-8. In 1907, 4
classrooms were added to the
south side. In 1912, 6 class-
rooms were added to the north
side, expanding the school to
K-12. In 1921 the south end was
again enlarged, and from 1929
to 1955 it was solely the Closter
Jr./Sr. High School, grades 7-12. From
1955 to 1996 it was the Village
School, grade's 6-8.
