Cony High School, Augusta, Maine Postcard. Cony High School Augusta, Maine This auction is for a very nice linen postcard showing the Cony High School in Augusta, Maine. Old Cony High School is a historic school building at Cony and Church Streets in Augusta , Maine . Built between 1926 and 1932, it is locally unusual for its flatiron shape, and its social history as the city's third high school building. The building was used as a school until 2006. At that time, a new school was built, and the city of Augusta maintained the empty old building as a heated storage facility at a cost of $75,000 per year. In 2013, the group Housing Initiatives of New England stepped forward to renovate the school into a living center for senior adults. In July 2015, the renovated building was opened as Cony Flatiron Senior Residence , a senior housing complex. Some of the residents were formerly students at the high school. This card is unposted.
