Property Highlights

The Site is a historical elementary school that is currently vacant, with a baseball field, basketball court, and several smaller outbuildings. With the growth of the area, the school was vacated by the town when a new school was built and the building has been left to disrepair. The Community Library group has purchased the property to clean it up and adaptively rehabilitate the building for a combination of a community center, municipal office, child daycare center, and/or commercial tenant space, and to upgrade the grounds to support the final redevelopment.

Former Use: The approximately 6.2-acre Site is owned by the Town of Lyman and includes Lot 122 on Map 11 from the Town of Lyman Assessor�s Office. The Site includes a former school building with a basement, a baseball field, paved basketball court and smaller outbuildings (e.g., concession stand, dugouts). The school building was constructed in 1937 and an addition was constructed in 1965. The school is a single-story 10,304 square-foot brick building with a partial daylight basement under the original structure. The building is heated by forced hot air furnace fueled by No. 2 heating oil stored in a 1,000 gallon underground storage tank (UST). The school is served by a private water supply well and on-site septic tank and leachfield. A second well provides irrigation for the baseball field. Regional School Union 57 has not used the Cousens Memorial School since about 2007. The most recent use of the school was a community arts program.
