In
1948, rural High School Boards were eliminated and Mount
Albert became part of the Newmarket High School Board.
The senior students were, and still are, bused to Newmarket
for high school.
The Newmarket
High School Board turned this building over to the Mount
Albert Public School Board. At a meeting on June 16,
1949, the town decided not to use it as a public school
and this building was closed.
In 1950,
Mr. W.H. Theaker bought the building and used it as a showroom
for furniture. He sold his furniture business in 1954,
and sold this building at that time. After that, it
was used as a factory for making plastic trays. The
factory was shut down in the late 1970's.
The
building was vacant for a few years and then was demolished
in the 1980's when the houses were built at that end of
Alice Street.
