St. Augustine, Fl, USA- Oldest Wooden Schoolhouse Pt 2

As mentioned previously the schoolhouse is the oldest wooden schoolhouse in the U.S and has stood since the early 1700's but the last class graduated in 1865. The compound contains the schoolhouse, a kitchen, an outhouse, several statues commemorating important figures in Latin American history, and a well. It is important to note that the teachers would live with their family in the second story of the schoolhouse. The kitchen was separate to ensure both ventilation and that if there was a fire it would be easily contained.

Okay moving on to the best part! The pictures!

Peruvian Liberator!

Honduras!

I tried to get a picture of the whole compound

The last class of the schoolhouse in 1864!

That girl in the purple looks like Wednesday Addams

Furniture the teacher owned or may have owned.


If you behaved badly you were sent to the cupboard beneath the stairs. Made me think of Harry Potter.
