Dryden, NY 13053 Architect: Henry Balcom, a local carpenter Style: Octagon (brick) Period: 1825-1949 Ownership: Private Note: The Eight Square School was built in 1827 to replace a squarish wooden structure that was too small to accommodate all the students. The original estimated cost of building the structure was $350 and was approved by local voters. By the time the structure was finished, it had run 57% over budget to the tune of $550. The Eight Square School is the only brick octagon schoolhouse still standing in the state. The school was in use until 1941. The building and property were later sold to the Dryden Historical Society for $10. The octagon shape was chosen for a number of reasons: 1. it was thought that the shape was more conducive to better learning because the instructor could be placed in a prominent position and be the focus of the students; 2. the octagonal shape provided more square feet of interior space than either a square or a rectangle; 3. because the octagon could have windows or doors on all sides, ventilation was better; 4. octagon structures tend to have thick walls and this provided for better insulation against heat and cold. The History Center currently holds a day-long living history program in the school for local elementary students, allowing them to experience a school day from 1892. The Eight Square School is the logo of the Rural School Association of New York State. Dryden Historic Districtbounded by E. Main, James, lake, and South Sts.

Located in the part of the park called "Upper Treman," it is open to visitors and provides a good opportunity to learn about the history of the mill and how it works. In 1920 Treman's grandson, Robert H. Treman and his wife Laura Treman donated 387 acres of land in Enfield Glen to the state for the creation of a park. The park came under the management of the newly created Finger Lakes State Parks Commission of which Robert H. Treman was the first commissioner. The park, which now totals 1,074 acres, was later named in his honor. Fernow HallCornell University Ithaca, NY 14853 Architect: Green & Wicks, Durolithic Co.
