Landmark Restored Stone Schoolhouse

A historically majestic Dutch gable sits atop the former Rowena Memorial School, which educated students in and around Palenville, New York for 70 years beginning at the dawn of the 20th century.  Built in 1899, fascinating history is also seen in the solid stones and clock located above the entrance.

Over 100 years after its construction the Rowena Memorial School no longer hosts knowledge-seeking students, however it is still a place for amazing discovery. The school has been restored and transformed into a landmark combination of two bedroom residence, studio, and office space unlike any other.  School rooms that occupied the first floor are now ideal office spaces.  Retractable chalkboard walls remain part of the original woodwork. 

See additional photos and learn more about this momentous building here.  It is currently listed at $1,470,000 by Westwood Metes & Bounds Realty.

Vicki Walker's Gravatar The price seems very reasonable for the 9,000+ square feet of space and 1.5 acres of land. This is a true landmark property and best of all it's right down the road from the Rip Van Winkle Country Club. Thanks for letting me take a look and dream, if for just a moment.
