Early school house
Orient OR-18A
In the early days of the settlement schooling was either
neglected or accomplished in private homes. About 1820
a school building was opened on King's Highway. This
dwelling is now occupied by the Gloria family. For a
short time befoand after IW, tFieT�asement of the house
re
now owned by Floyd King was used as a one-room school.
The Point Schoolhouse was erected in 1825 near the present
site of the Charles Rose Airport. The original structure was
moved and the school was rebuilt about 1845. After
many additions and alterations, this building was moved
to the Latham Brothers' Farm in 1888, and a new school
was built. This school was finally closed in 1930, and in
1948 the structure was moved to itspresent location ad-
jacent to the Qysterponds Historical Society Museum. It
is now used as a meeting place for various organizations
as well as the Historical Society and serves as a youth
center. The present school building, located east of the
Congregational Church parsonage, was built in 1874 and
remodeled in 1908. For many years high school courses
were taught here, but now the older children are sent to
the Greenport High School.
