The former Milliken School building – 6/10/2025

The Milliken School building was built in 1925 to replace the old Milliken School building that stood just to the right of this one as shown in the following photo. The old school building was sold, moved back to Stewart Street and converted into an apartment building that still stands today. The new building was considered a modern school at the time and continued as a school until 1986, closing when the South Hiram
Elementary School was built for MSAD 55.


The Parsonsfield Municipal Offices took over the building in 1988 and occupied the building until May 2012 when the offices were moved to the former Fred Morrill School in North Parsonsfield. Since then the building has remained empty.

The new Milliken School –1925

As with all of these empty old historic buildings, it would be nice to see this building occupied and serving the community of Kezar Falls once again.
