Dayton's Corners School is a one-room school building in the town of Penfield, New York. Erected in 1857, it sits at the corner of Plank Road and Creek Street and was part of Penfield District #9. It is the only one-room school house in the area that is still standing and has not been converted to some other use. [2]

The building was part of the Webster Central School District between 1948 and 1991, [3] although it was only used as a schoolhouse until the early 1960s. [4] The building has been maintained by Penfield's recreation department since 1976; it was purchased by the town in 1991. [3] The original school grounds are adjacent to the school building. The school and its grounds are used by fourth-grade teachers in the Penfield Central School District and other local school districts as part of the state-mandated local history curriculum. [2]

The red brick building was designated a Penfield Landmark in 1983 [3] and added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 5, 2001.

A coloring book called "A Day at Dayton's Corners" was created in 2010 as part of the town of Penfield's bicentennial celebrations. [4]

Central School (Canton, Iowa) United States historic place

Central School, also known as Hickory Grove School, is a historic one-room schoolhouse located northeast of Canton, Iowa, United States. It is one of over 217 limestone structures in Jackson County from the mid-19th century, of which 12 are school buildings. This school building was built in 1868, possibly by G.W. Kelsall or Issac Wilmer McCullogh, who were local stonemasons. The stone blocks that were used in the construction of this rectangular structure vary somewhat in shape and size, and they were laid in courses. What is unusual about the stone used here is that they are long and narrow, compared to the other buildings. The stones used at the corners are somewhat larger. The window sills and lintels are dressed stone. The stone used for this building was quarried about a mile north of here. A name and date stone are located on the east gable, above the door. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.
