Stones used in the Pompey Academy were re-used in the 1950's for the Fabius-Pompey elementary school which then became the Pompey Hill Fire Department in the 1970's.

The Academy was incorporated in 1811, and for many years it was the only institution of the kind in this part of the State. It flourished until within the last twenty years – since which time it has merely existed. Since the burning of the District School House there has been some talk of changing it to a Graded School. We hope they do.”

(Many eminent persons were educated at the Academy; men who went on to become well known senators, educators, doctors, lawyers and ministers. The “Academy Reunion” in 1874, sparked a new interest in Pompey, the highest point in the county and for twenty years the Hill Top House was one of he most famous rural resort hotels in CNY)
