Originally this school was a stone school house but that structure was torn town and a wooden schoolhouse was built as told in the Wayne County Alliance Aug.14,1878: 

School District #14

  The new school house a mile north of the village is one of the best, in proportion to its size and cost that can be found for miles around. By its erection one more stone school house has disappeared. Peace to its memory. May all the others soon follow.

  The new building is of wood and was erected by Rufus Moses, under the superintendence of F.H.Granger, trustee;the latter having given to the work his close personal attention. The votes to build, at the several meetings held, were harmonious, and Mr. Granger has had the confidence and support of the district. The result of this judicious action is seen in the fine building,an honor to the town. Its size is 24x28. lt has a neat outside finish with handsome cornices and blinds. There are two wardrobe closets opening solely from the school room. The inside finish is very neat and durable. The wainscoting is of black ash, and above this the entire sides as well as the ceiling over head are covered with matched pine, well painted.There is no plastering anywhere to be knocked to pieces or to fall off. The room is 12 feet high in the clear. lt has an excellent blackboard extending across the entire westend, with a soft finish,easy to cipher upon;and the light is so well arranged as to prevent the glare that renders almost useless many blackboards in costly buildings. The stove is centrally placed near the entrance, relieving the teacher's chair and the place of recitation at the blackboard from the severe heat that is to be found there. There are 26 desks seating 52 scholars; besides the front recitation seats, and one on eachside of the stove about six feet long.This furniture has been manufactured in our village at the foundry of T.B.Titus. lts convenience, elegance and cheapness abundantly prove that there is no longer any necessity to send abroad for that kind of work.Mr.Titus has a practical experience in this business,not only as a manufacturer but as a former school officer that amply qualifies him to advise with trustees upon these important matters.

  The school house is placed farther back from the road than the old,and the hill in front partially graded. The district will do well to continue this improvement and plant trees, so that in the future the school grounds may be the pleasantest place in the neighborhood.

  It is bad enough to leave a school house site in the desolate dilapidated condition it is so often found in around an old bui|ding,but it is still worse after expending several hundred dollars upon a new building to miserly and churlishly refuse the small sum necessary to finish grading and complete the work in a manner suitable to the building.

  If District No. 14 will give Mr. Granger authority to expend $100 in grading,fencing and in tree planting--our word for it, it will be judiciously and honestly laid out, and an already fine work will receive an appropriate completion.

Miscellaneous:

The deed to the property is circa 1837.It is believed that the first schoolhouse was a cobblestone school. This was torn down and the wooden schoolhouse was built in 1878. Former students say as many as 60 students attended in three terms. According to Clark's "History of Sodus Churches", it was the location of Baptist Church Services.

Closure

As was the case with many of the small neighborhood schools in the Town of Sodus, this school was closed in 1946 when education in the Town of Sodus was centralized to the new school on Mill Street in the Village of Sodus. In 1946 the Veterans of Foreign Wars of Sodus bought it for $1.00. The initial goal was to purchase the schoolhouse and move it to the campus of the Sodus Central School. There it would be used as a model 19th Century Schoolhouse and Museum. This never happened.
