History and description

The one-story stone schoolhouse was built in 1835 by George Flummerfelt. The octagon shape of the building may have influenced Orson Squire Fowler and his work on octagon houses in 1848. It use as a school ended in 1874 and it then served as a tool shed for the cemetery.^[4]
