The Lockport High School, located on East Avenue near the Palace Theater, built in 1890-91, was first called the New Union School. By 1919, several additions and alterations were needed that took many years to complete. A library was added to the front of the building in 1935 and a familiar turret was removed. After decades of continuous use, the building was closed in 1955 and students were transferred to the new High School on Locust Street Extension.
