Felton High School and Grammar School

Felton High School and Grammar School

Built in 1901, the visually striking Felton High School once stretched along Thompson Street between Bryant and Falconer streets. It was named after local leader Benjamin F. Felton, who was president of North Tonawanda's Board of Education for 30 years. The building would later be used as a grammar school. Although demolished in 1969, it is not entirely forgotten: we still call the field across Payne Avenue (which was a N.Y. Central train yard and later in 1919 the site of NT's first public playground) "Felton Field."
