Old West Schoolhouse
87 Mountain Rd.
West Hartford CT
This blog entry is part of an ongoing project called “One Room Schoolhouses in CT”). If you’re interested in the history of one room schoolhouses in CT I suggest you purchase CONNECTICUT SCHOOLHOUSES THROUGH TIME by Melinda K. Elliott. This book was has been a very helpful resource for me as I did my research. At time of writing this book was available on AMAZON.
Cheryl and I traveled to West Hartford to photograph this one room schoolhouse this day.
The only remaining one room schoolhouse in West Hartford CT has been owned and used by the West Hartford Art League since 1936. The brick structure was built circa 1878 and was thought to be safer than typical wooden one room schoolhouses. Students used the building up until near 1936.
