From 1812 onward the Treasurer's records become very sketchy. Supplies that were purchased for the Academy included window glass and whiting (1821 and 1822). In 1828, the Minutes recorded that a carpenter was employed to "have the South side of the rough of the Academy newly covered."(41) The Board paid William Brown one dollar for one day of labor for the job, Ignatius Waters $18 for 1800 shingles used, Thomas Bond 92 cents for 9 lbs. of nails, and 45 cents for window glass and whiting. The Treasurer, Ignatius Waters, also recorded the purchase of a stove in 1830 from Samuel Brooke. In 1833 the Principal was authorized to purchase a small table for the use of the globes and a lock for the door.

The Second Story Addition
Early in 1834 a carpenter was employed to cover the Northeast side of the Academy, the trees were trimmed on the Northeast side to prevent injuring the roof, the inside of the house and roof were whitewashed, and locust trees were planted (1834). William B. Magruder, the Treasurer, recorded that Daniel Budd was paid 75 cents for planting locust trees and Achilles Simpson was paid $1.25 for whitewash brushes.

Later in the same year, the Board decided that the Academy needed to be expanded (1834). Contract rates for the construction were not to exceed "$2.00 per perch for masonry, 20 cents per square yard for plastering, $3.00 per window for the same size and quality as those on the lower floor, and $8.00 for all joists
