Our office is located in a historic landmark school building, the Old School Business Center.  The building was originally construction in 1927, and reconstructed a year later after almost burning to the ground.  There are rumors that the building is haunted! In the 1980's the school was sold to private owners, and the classrooms were redesigned into offices and for other unique purposes.  Most of the original fixtures remain in tact, and the halls are decorated with the original class composites.  Its a great home for us and we always enjoy showing our visitors around the old school.
