Salesian School

This property was first built by a man named David Haight in 1834 as a private residence. When he died in 1876 he was buried on the property in the family mausoleum. In 1922 the property was foreclosed and in 1925 it was purchased by the Salesian brothers for an all boys Catholic school. The mansion was the admin and dining building, and the main school building was built in 1931. One night in 1964, a nine year old boy fell off the roof of the school building and passed away. The case was reinvestigated in 2003, but a fire in 1970 that mysteriously burned student records and uncooperative staff led to nothing being solved. The school eventually closed in 1985, and then was reopened as a youth center, but quickly closed in 1991. The mansion is demolished but the main school building still stands.
