Barton Secondary School is a decommissioned high school located in Hamilton, Ontario. The school opened in 1959, and was closed in 2015. The building currently sits vacant, and will potentially be a replacement building for the Sherwood Secondary School, as that building requires numerous repairs. The fire alarm system is from the 2000s.

Bonus Information

There are several Edwards “Adaptabel” 24 vibrating bells (grey, 6” gong) throughout the building, however they are no longer in use.
