Скачать или смотреть The Brick School, Franklin, Massachusetts built in 1833 This is where I went to 2nd and 3rd grade.

The bricks that gave their name to this school building were shipped via oxen from Boston. This school was built on the foundation of the older, wooden schoolhouse in 1833. By 1835 Mortimer Blake was running a high school in the building that was proving so popular that it was overflowing despite the charges of 25 to 35 cents per week. They had to move the lessons to larger premises.

In 1852 the church stopped having Sunday school at the same building.

The administration attempted to shut down the school during the Great Depression, due to its costs, but the townspeople rallied behind it. The school again almost closed in 1959, when it was declared unsafe, but the town of Franklin's residents paid to have it refurbished. The proceeds from selling six-inch square ceramic tiles with a depiction of the school on the front and a history of the school on the back supported this. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.

Earlier history:
The first school building on this site was a wooden one constructed after the Rev. Nathanael Emmons took a 900-year lease on the land. The school was built at the corner of Maple Street and Main Street, although the later is now called Lincoln Street and the school building is number two. The "Meeting House School" building and the 900-year lease were taken over by the town authorities. At this time it was known as the "school at the crossroads", although it was also used by the Congregational church for their children's Sunday-school classes. The school's early association with religion was strong. In 1792 it was agreed that no school master should be appointed who did not "promise to pray in the school each day

My teacher for those 2 years was Mrs. Dorothy Perron (1916-). She taught us in a one room brick school building built in 1833. When I was there it was the oldest school still in use. I still can remember her reading Mark Twain to us in the muggy afternoons of May in Franklin, Massachusetts in the days of Black and White TV.
