These buildings were demolished in 1962 and replaced by the current buildings at 50 Druce St. The June 25, 1921 issue of the Chronicle lists the following 83 graduates (29 boys and 54 girls). The class photo, however, only shows 41 students (14 boys and 27 girls). The discrepancy is unexplained. An additional curiosity is the fact that the girls outnumber the boys two-to-one. Class list:

The students are arrayed in front of the original Pierce Grammar School. There are a number of older-appearing students so it can be assumed that the photo includes students from the high school that was just next door.

There were two Pierce School buildings, Grammar and Primary. This is the original Grammar building, built in 1855 on the west side of Prospect St. This building was incorporated into the 1904 replacement building for the Primary School, still standing, and its right side can be viewed there today.

There were two Pierce buildings, Grammar and Primary. A new, larger, Pierce Grammar School had recently opened on School St. in 1901. This building, the new Primary School building, was opened in 1904 as part of an expansion of both schools. It incorporated parts of the old Pierce Grammar School, accessible today around the right side, and still stands today as the Pierce Historical Building.

Opened in 1901 as a replacement for the much smaller school located behind it on Prospect St. No longer standing.
