Old Greenwood School, Greenwood

The Old Greenwood School was built in 1859 by subscription, that is when the community pooled their resources to build the school. The building is constructed of yellow Milwaukee brick and possesses classic Greek Revival period features such as cornice returns, a front door surround, and stone lintels. The interior still possesses the original wainscoting and a single front door has since replaced the old double doors. The pair can be found mounted on the basement wall.

The second story was used for the high school class while the lower room was the “graded school”. For a short period of time, church services were also held there. The building served as the community’s school until 1948 when it was sold at auction. It is currently a private residence.
