In partnership with the Save Our Gale School committee, we renovated the historic Gale School into a modern community facility. The first floor is now home to the Sara M. Allen Early Learning Center operated by Lakes Region Childcare Services, a division of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Central and Northern NH. The second floor boasts over 1,900 square feet of commercial space for other non-profits to serve the community’s needs now and into the future.
The Gale School was built in 1894, and was used by the Belmont school district until the mid-1980s. The Gale School was named one of New Hampshire’s Seven to Save in 2017, and is eligible for the National Register of Historic Places.
