Old Schoolhouse
And here we see the Enoch Turner Schoolhouse and its accompanying heritage sign which I showed you yesterday. The wonderful Gothic Revival building houses a museum but also a large open space available to the public which is used for many events including wedding receptions and art shows.
Has the lines of a chapel. I did a lot of praying, for grades, in school.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a perfect wedding spot!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful old building Pat and didn't they show it so well in the mural. Nice to know its being used so well.
ReplyDeleteThat is a wonderful building. I love the windows.
ReplyDeletei have always liked this kind of buildings.
ReplyDeleteVery neat and tidy and compact!
ReplyDeleteIt is quite a pretty building.
ReplyDeleteKind of invests new meaning in the term "old school". :-)
ReplyDeletereally cool!
ReplyDeleteWas this a church before? Like the shaped windows and the lovely brick work.
ReplyDeleteIs this open during the Doors Open? I think this was a place I always wanted to visit. Have you been inside?
ReplyDeletelocation is perfect for family events
ReplyDeleteThank heavens it survived the 1960s.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a chapel, and I really like the windows and the brickwork!
ReplyDeleteNice place, Pat.
ReplyDeleteWe are not in primavera.Es winter. The photo of the green is in May last year. The other if they are of two days ago;)
I like Birdman's comment, only he didn't pray for grades. When he was teaching, he prayed every day, "Lord, if possible, take this cup from me," usually just before lunch. I know, 'cause I did the same thing. :)
ReplyDeleteThe building has an elegant grandeur to it and it certainly could function as a chapel if it wanted to do so.
This doesn't disappoint at all! It's lovely and now I'm imagining the kids who sat inside in 1849!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Very well preserved.
ReplyDeleteHow charming! I love the way the windows and door have the same shape. Pretty shadows too!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Birdman, it does resemble a chapel.
ReplyDeleteNice looking building.
ReplyDeleteOne of my best friends was married here in the 80's . Beautiful place. I've found your blog through the Grow Your Blog Party and another Canadian blogger. I live in Hamilton now after relocating from Toronto 1 1/2 years ago. I'm enjoying getting to know an up and coming city but still enjoy Toronto. I'll be following you to keep up with the city. If you follow me you'll hear bits and pieces about Hamilton which is becoming a very interesting place for artists.
ReplyDeleteThat looks very small to have been a schoolhouse, but it is built impressively.
