GULL SCHOOL, HEBRON
|
Gull School is a one-room schoolhouse that was originally built in in Hebron in 1790 at the northwest intersection of Grayville Road and Old Colchester Road. It burned down and was rebuilt in 1816, continuing to serve as a school until it closed in 1919. It reopened in 1929 and continued as a school until 1935. It was sold by the town a decade later and the new owner put it up on blocks. Ten years later it was moved to a field where it stood for many years.
In 1971 Henrietta Green, who taught at the school from 1930 to 1931 moved the building to the property of the Green family in the Anston section of town, on Church Street, near the intersection with Niles Road. For the next thirty years she welcomed school groups to visit the building, which she had refurnished to appear as it had been during her time teaching at the school. The Green family deeded the school to the town, which moved it in 2001 to its current address at 8 Marjorie Circle. Three years later the interior of the school was restored for the Hebron Historical Society as an Eagle Scout project by Alex Breiding, with help from Hebron Troop 28 Boy Scouts. |
