In 1996, the main school building, along with the observatory and bandshell located on the school grounds, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[1] All of the structures are bequests of George C. Grout and native son Alexander Hamilton Copley. The latter donated both the land and building that form the Peoples Academy, which serves as the local public high school and is a major local work of Classical Revival architecture.[1] Since 2007, Philip Grant has been the school's principal.
