Since I looked at this converted 1889 schoolhouse this morning, it's gone under contract. Located in Delaware Twp., NJ, it has 1bd, 1ba, 2,208 sq ft, and is priced at $300k. The current owner is also an avid collector.

Yowzuh! That's a lot of stuff.

So, there's a wood stove in the middle of the room. It does have radiators for heat. The former schoolhouse has an open floor plan and in 1913, it was turned into a 2 room schoolhouse.

Shelving all along this outer wall. Nice place for plants.

Dining area in the corner.

Nice old style pool table that is now a laundry table. I like that old pool table lamp.

The kitchen cabinets are in rough shape. The bottom doors are peeling, and the panel is falling off the dishwasher, so maybe it needs to be replaced.

It's hard to see with all the stuff, but the cabinetry is definitely falling apart.

Cute little kitchen dining area has a nice old door and a built-in.

The single bedroom is pretty big, b/c it's the addition that they added in 1913. Look at the fabric thang on the ceiling.

Oh, it covers the whole ceiling.

Separate laundry room.

There's a 1.48 acre lot, so it has a good amount of land.

You can see the old school bell tower in the middle of the roof.

This is the more country part of NJ. I live in the metropolitan area across the bridge from NYC. Depends on what you prefer.

Pioneering Days

Cornell Schoolhouse, Johnstown, Ohio. July 20, 2024.

Originally located in Licking County, St. Albans Township, Alexandria, Ohio, the Cornell one-room Schoolhouse was built in 1886—completing its final class in 1923.

After decades of neglect, the schoolhouse was relocated to Johnstown, Ohio and restored. It now greets field trips from local schools, allowing students to experience schoolhouse life from the past.

As an avid history buff, I couldn't help being transported through time while taking photos of this schoolhouse—imagining life as an early pioneering educator. While my description below is fictional, I've attempted to capture the essence of another time...

Gazing into a twirling void, dust twinkling in the early light, as an amber radiance streams through the windows of the aged one-room schoolhouse. The young woman, briefly spellbound, watches silhouettes dance across the empty student desks, perfectly synchronized with the swaying tree outside.

She treasured these quiet moments before class, alone with the crackling fire in the schoolroom's stove. Although the afternoons retained a touch of warmth in late October, the mornings welcomed Jack Frost's touch, making the task of lighting the stove an essential part of her daily routine.

Although she would miss the summer break from this chore, she cherished the aroma of burning wood mingled with chalk and old floorboards. There was a comforting allure in autumn's inviting embrace, blended with the charm of her classroom.

Breaking from her spell, she glanced at her lesson plan for the day—a plan she rehearsed many times over during the few short years at her desk, but wanting to ensure each detail was tucked deep within her thoughts. Yet, before she could read through the last paragraph, her focus was interrupted by the distant—all too familiar—laughter and chatter approaching the school. With a soft grin, a quick glance out the window revealed what she already knew, her early bird students were rapidly approaching.

Rising swiftly, she adjusted her dress and eagerly approached the door to welcome the cherished expressions. As her hand touched the doorknob, she was unaware that each step and gesture were casting ripples into the future, charting a path that would inspire others to follow.

She never considered herself a pioneer, merely a woman who took pleasure teaching children; yet, as the old door creaked open, the bright autumn morning light flooded the schoolhouse, illuminating her welcoming smile. A radiance indelibly shaping a new career in the young state of Ohio. A radiance that would reach into the lives of each child, propelling them forward. A radiance we recognize today as that of a school teacher.

I love making older buildings, and I’ve already made a one room schoolhouse but unfortunately you need 2 rooms in order to have a functioning high school :( So I tried my best to create a school that resembles an old schoolhouse and I’m quite happy with how it turned out. There’s the essentials, but also a soccer field, chess tables, a telescope, and typewriters (i.e. computers) for your teens to use while not in class, along with an outside eating area (since there weren’t cafeterias in older schools 😅
