One room schoolhouses are adorable. And they are an easily recognized architectural form. While they would be seemingly easy to adapt to an alternative use, many sit on the side of the road, underutilized. The District #8 Schoolhouse, ca. 1855, on Route 53 in Salisbury, VT is no exception. The schoolhouse sits in the middle of a farm field, serving as storage space for its owner. The 1977 survey photographs show a vestibule entry, which has since been removed. Otherwise, the schoolhouse retains its historic integrity with its character defining features such as the bank of windows.
Hopefully its owner will see its potential soon.
Love the pictures! Especially the bank of windows. Impressively intact!
Sweet building. Could that be a Hitchcock chair in the pile?
My mother and aunts attended this schoolhouse in the early 1900’s!!They grew up in Salisbury on the Sheldon farm
