Description
Warren Hall, known locally as the Brick School House, is located at the intersection of Shore Road and Gleason Road in Perry. Built by John Gleason in 1827 as a school, it was named in memory of General Joseph Warren, who died in the Battle of Bunker Hill.
The Masons bought the building, which continued to be used as a school, and owned it until 1870, when the Town of Perry purchased it.
It was used for town meetings, political and social gatherings, a polling place and as a school with grades 1-4 on the first floor and grades 5-8 upstairs until the new Clark School opened in 1952.
It has been privately owned since 1953, used primarily for storing commercial fisheries equipment.
