St. Joseph's Catholic School used to be located at the old stone house known as 'Fairview Place' on School Lane, from 1977 until moving to the school's present location, on Mill Street West, in September 1982. Prior to St. Joseph's, this stone house was used for a number of years as over-flow for Robert Little Public School, and between 1928 and 1954 it was used as Acton High School. The house, itself, was built in 1868 and torn down by the Halton District School Board in 1992. Photo -- 1977
