Some things in Vermont have stayed the same while others have changed dramatically. One thing that hasn’t been seen in action since the 1950’s is one room schoolhouses in VT. While they may not be educating students in these classic buildings anymore, you can still see many standing, and some have even been converted into private residences. Let’s take a look at a few of these wonderful places you’ll find around the Green Mountain State.
This French Second Empire-style schoolhouse in West Lincoln circa 1888 features a transom, belfry, date inscription, door-hood, name inscription and peaked lintel-boards. It is now a private home.

This Vernacular-style schoolhouse circa 1887 is also now a charming home.
Located on South Bingham Street in Cornwall, you can see the band of east facing windows on this schoolhouse circa 1910.
