Time Capsule discovered at Ashley Street School
December 22, 2012
They say you have to break a few eggs to make an omelet. Such is the case in Westfield, MA where Associated Building Wreckers of Springfield, MA was recently brought in to demolish the old Ashley Street School to make way for a new MJA designed elementary.
When the wrecking ball made a loud clang as it hit a wall, workers stopped to discover a small metal box buried deep in the partition. Inside were letters, newspapers, brochures and business cards dating to Oct. 6, 1897. Margo Jones Architects is now working on plans to exhibit the contents in the new school’s lobby.
