The first school house is being built on meeting house land, on the south east corner of the cemetery, in front of the private tombs.
Early records set forth the layout of the building, which is to have:
23 x 18 foot and 6 ½ foot clear height. The roof to be covered with boards and shingles, and the sides with boards and clapboards with 3 lights of glass each [window] 20 inches square and a good chimney with stone and carried out of the building.
Town meetings will sometimes be held here instead of the meeting house on cold nights because of the fine chimney and fireplace.
