The first school on the site dates to about 1820, and the present building was rebuilt in 1860 with the same stones.","why_significant":"The nomination argues it is an intact, representative example of a modest nineteenth-century one-room rural school, with its single classroom, vestibule/cloakroom, belfry and separate privy. It is also the sole remnant of the hamlet of Dunraven (originally Clark's Factory), which was destroyed for the Pepacton Reservoir. It is listed for its association with education and for its architecture.","narrative":"Standing alone beside Route 28 southwest of Margaretville, this one-story fieldstone schoolhouse is all that remains of the hamlet of Dunraven, once called Clark's Factory, which was cleared for the Pepacton Reservoir. A stone school was first built on the lot in 1820 on land conveyed by John and Anna Van Wagoner. After it fell into disrepair and was torn down in the 1850s, local people rebuilt it in 1860 using the same stones. The rectangular building has a gable roof, clapboard gable ends, tall two-over-two windows with transoms, a small belltower and a separate two-room privy marked for boys and girls. Inside are a vestibule and a single classroom with tin walls above wood siding. The school is significant as a well-preserved example of a nineteenth-century rural one-room school and as a reminder of a vanished community. It has also served for Sunday school, meetings, voting and, today, a local history museum.","period_of_significance":"1860","architect_builder":"unknown","architectural_style":"no style","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Still used for some community purposes and as a local history museum; retains a high level of integrity.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:51:51.066547-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/98000131.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/98000131/eba854df8c-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/98000131/eba854df8c-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 2.0","author":"Doug Kerr from Upstate New York.
