Description
This one-room school, which still stands as of 2018 on the Bay Point Road, in Georgetown, was built in 1820 under the supervision of “General” Joseph Berry, a local shipbuilder.
Local lore says Irish stonemasons built it, and it has no windows on the road side of the building to prevent distraction of the students by traffic on the road.
