Through a covered bridge, around a bend in a shady country road, and there in its still rural setting you have found it: an enchanting brick schoolhouse. Generations of teachers and many classes of pupils pored over their books here. Come to The Penn Schoolhouse today and you will see vestiges of its history. The old schoolhouse has evolved into a lovely country residence which offers comfort and convenience without sacrificing any of its rich heritage. The interior offers a treasure hunt of discoveries: rounded window recesses, beamed ceilings, exposed brick walls, a floor-to-ceiling bookcase. In what today is a comfortable living room, you will find the schoolroom s original tall windows, chalk boards and 11 foot ceilings. Space has been used imaginatively throughout the schoolhouse and adjoining it to the rear is a new recreation/family room with skylights and Mexican tile floor. In all, this rare treasure from the past invites one to linger and savor the antiquity.
