West Schoolhouse (Wilmington, Massachusetts)

United States historic place

The West Schoolhouse is a historic school building in Wilmington, Massachusetts. It is the best-preserved of Wilmington's remaining one-room schoolhouses. This single-story wood-frame building was probably (based on stylistic analysis) built in the 1860s or 1870s, although its resemblance in form to the c. 1840s Old Centre Schoolhouse suggests a possible earlier construction date and subsequent remodeling. It has simple Greek Revival styling with rope molding on the corner boards, and transom windows over the pair of entry doors.[2]
