OLD WALTON HIGH SCHOOL SELLS FOR $125,000

(05/09/2009)
The old Walton High School, most recently an assisted-living facility called the Walton Inn, was sold on the auction block today.

Built in 1942, it was a school for 50 years.

It was sold for $125,000 to Walton resident Danny Starcher, who said he did not want it torn down.

When the building was the Walton Inn, the owner spent $180,000 for an elevator.

A second parcel, the former football field, was sold to Reedy resident Kathelyn Fields for $80,000.

She wants to use it for a horse stable.
