The site also includes a barn/shed, outhouses, and a well with pumpjack.","why_significant":"The school served Adelaida-area children in grades 1-8 from 1917 until 1964. By the mid-1920s it also functioned as the community center, hosting club meetings, government workshops, elections, and social events. The nomination argues it is significant for its role in education and social history.","narrative":"Built in 1917 on a flat 1.5-acre site along Chimney Rock Road, this one-room wood-frame schoolhouse served the rural Adelaida area northeast of Paso Robles. It has redwood tongue-and-groove siding over Douglas fir framing, a concrete foundation, a covered north veranda, and a library at one end. Cedar roof shingles remain beneath later asphalt roofing. A barn/shed, outhouses, and an old well and pumpjack share the grounds. The school taught grades 1-8 until 1964, with eleven teachers between 1917 and 1950 and an average enrollment of 9.5 students. Local families repaired and maintained it. By the mid-1920s it also served as the community's meeting place for farm center gatherings, 4-H and other clubs, speakers, elections, and social events, a role that continues today. Changes included a teacher's living area in the 1920s, electricity and bathrooms in 1948, and fire-exit and window updates after enrollment declined. It was listed for its role in education and local social history.","period_of_significance":"1917-1950","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Colonial Revival","criteria":["A"],"status_note":"Continues as a community meeting hall; the form notes that significant work is needed on the building and grounds.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:54:27.349935-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_CA/01001244.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/123861468","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q133521316"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/california/san-luis-obispo-county/lincoln-school-01001244/"}
