Joshua Eaton Elementary School

Joshua Eaton, the only Reading casualty in the American Revolutionary War.

The school is located at the corner of Summer Avenue and Oak Street, close to the site of Joshua Eaton's family home.

In 1944, Dr. William K. Wilson, supervisor of educational planning of school buildings for the New York State Education Department, was hired to study the Reading school system.

His recommendation was that the school should plan to accommodate 500 children from kindergarten through grade six.

The original building consisted of 18 classrooms, an auditorium, cafeteria and gymnasium.
