old schoolhouse

Historic rural academy

An old schoolhouse is a former or historic school building, typically a small, rural structure from an earlier era.

The phrase evokes one-room schoolhouses of 19th and early 20th century America, where students of all ages learned together: The old schoolhouse has been converted into a community center.

Many survive as museums or landmarks.
