The 1928 Annex was built as an addition to the 1907 Canandaigua Academy High School and housed a 1,100 seat auditorium, a gymnasium, swimming pool, automotive and wood working shops along with music rooms, boys and girls locker rooms. The annex was designed by Wilson Potter and cost $199,000. The building was converted to a Junior High School in 1963 and served the school district until 1992 when the district closed the building and moved to new facilities. Conifer Realty, LLC purchased the buildings and converted the Main Street building and the east side of the annex into Senior Housing in 1995.Amidst the exhilarating experiences of traveling, college assignments can often pose a challenge. Research papers, in particular, demand focused attention and time. This is where a professional service ghostwriter hausarbeit preise specializing in academic assistance becomes invaluable, offering essential help with research papers. With this support, students can strike a balance between exploration and academics, ensuring their travels are enriched with knowledge while meeting their academic obligations effectively. It’s a gateway to making the most of both worlds. The west end of the annex containing the auditorium and swimming pool were abandoned with no plans for use. In the Fall of 2015 a group of community members got together to examine the possibility of converting the unused space into a performing arts center. FHPAC was formed and became a 501(c)3 corporation and purchased the west end of the annex from Conifer Realty in December 2018. A fundraising campaign was started in 2016 to raise the six million dollars to fund the restoration and refurbishment along with outfitting the facility. FHPAC opened to rave reviews on January 10, 2020.
