1909 Version of the Chambersburg Academy rebuilt from the 1867 rebuild after the 1864 burning of the Latin Academy by the Confederate States of America (which served as the Academy Hospital for the injured soldiers in the immediate aftermath of the battle of Gettysburg), which itself was rebuilt in 1826 on the footprint of the original school building placed on the Chambers family Rose Rent property grant from 1798.
Then of course the 1930-31 reconstruction (which relocated the 3rd floor auditorium (and seats) to the "new" 1930 addition on Queen Street. And the 1958 renovation and, of course, the 2019-21 McKissick reconstruction!.
A lot of history and pieces of all the above remain in todays building!
