Description
The Old School House is a late 17th century building consisting of two sections. The northern section features a gambrel roof, while the southern section has a ridged gabled roof, both covered with peg tiles and having eaves. At the junction of the roofs, there is a single red brick chimney stack. The building has three sets of three small-paned casement windows on the first floor, with matching sets of casement windows on the ground floor. In the center of the ridged section, there is a plain door set within a case that has a flat hood.
