This unique property is a rare find in Lunenburg County! Steeped in history, and built in or around 1869 with much of its original structure "intact", this wonderful school house/community hall is a blank canvas just waiting for the imaginative buyer. The main level of the building with large windows offering lots of natural light, served as the one room school house, with original hardwood floors, eleven ft ceilings & views of the marshland beyond - a bird watchers paradise. Follow the circular staircase to the upper level and you will find a one room community hall with amazing rounded 10 ft ceilings & a stage. The plaster has been removed from the walls revealing the hand split laths. Solid, well built, and having endured the test of time, the building features a walk-up ladder to the large attic space, an 8x25 deck overlooking the marsh, and a granite foundation. There is an old outhouse on the property rumored to have been transported to its current location from the Windsor post office after they added indoor plumbing! It is also believed the building was once used as a Masonic Lodge. Come view this wonderful building, you will not be disappointed!
