Location: withheld since this is now a private residence.
Davis School was built in 1859 and in use as a school for 93 years until 1952, and is now an attractive and well-maintained private residence. It has 4 large windows on each side to let light into the classroom. and a single centered front door. The front of the schoolhouse consisted of only the very plain front door, but in its conversion to a residence the front door has become quite grandiose, with an attractive canopy above it and large windows above that, into what might have been made into a second story. There was once a very nice-looking bell tower on the roof above that front door, with a school bell inside, but none of this exists any longer. There is elaborate landscaping in front of the house, and additions have been made to the back of the house.
