Public School 15, September 9, 1937.

Completed in 1898 as the Middletown Township District School No. 1, the stately building with prominent clock tower was constructed on a plot occupied by a school since 1855. Designed by Staten Island resident and architect Edward Alfred Sargent, the later named Public School 15 is rendered in a rough-textured red brick with terra cotta and stone trim. Though Sargent is best known for his Queen Anne, Shingle, and Colonial Revival home design, he completed three schools on Staten Island. With two of the other schools lost, Public School 15 remains Sargent's educational legacy in the borough. The school building was designated a New York City landmark in 1996 and after a number of decades as administrative offices (the school functions ceased in 1965) the building has returned to education use as Public School 65.
