Description
The Old Schoolhouse is a building dating from approximately 1853, designed by G.E. Street. Originally a school and schoolhouse, it is now a house. The construction is of coursed and snecked dressed limestone, with an old and 20th-century tile roof and stone stacks. The building follows an asymmetrical plan, with the schoolhouse positioned to the left and the school to the right. It is built in the Gothic Revival style.
The schoolhouse section is one storey and has an attic, while the school section is one storey high. The facade has a four-window range. The asymmetrical elevation includes a recessed left bay and a gabled wall with the schoolhouse entrance built flush to the side wall of the school. There are two pointed, chamfered doorways, now containing inserted 20th-century windows. The schoolhouse features a shallow pointed tympanum arch above a three-light leaded first-floor casement and 20th-century ground-floor casements. The school section has a lateral external stack flanked by two-light chamfered stone-mullioned windows with small panes. Cusped rafters are exposed at the eaves.
The roof is gabled, with gable end and lateral stacks. There is a three-light leaded casement in the left gable wall, and a pointed chamfered arch over a plank door with original fittings within the left side wall of the left gable.
