Contemporary Building Name: 255 Jones Hollow Road
Historic Building Name: North School
Present Use: Residence
Historic Use: School House

Description: The gable end of the small house faces the street. A tripartite picture window is its chief feature. There is a 1-over-1 window in the south side elevation in front of the south wing. Both small wings have shed roofs. The front door is in the south wing, along with two horizontal windows.
Significance: The former North School is not well-preserved, having lost its identity as a building type. It is historically significant because it was a one-room schoolhouse.
