Utica Free Academy
Utica Free Academy, whose predecessor, Utica Academy, opened in 1814,[1] was a high school in Utica, New York, which operated from 1840 until 1990, when it was consolidated with Thomas R. Proctor High School. The combined entity operated briefly at UFA's original facility under the name Utica Senior Academy, but by 1993 had been reverted to the Proctor name and heritage.
The last UFA building is now a nursing home.[2]
