- The McCraney Barn in named after the McCraney Family, who purchased the property from the Crown in 1839. The current barn was built in 1914 and designed by architect Mr. George, after the original barn was destroyed by fire in Nov. 1913. This space has served as a stable, a gymnasium, and the Parent's Association stores. In 2022-2023 the main floor of the barn was extensively renovated and the Business moved into the space.
