“Schoolhouse Series” – Bundle Print Coming Soon!
The Huguenot Schoolhouse is one of the few brick, one-room schoohouses built in Orange County. Local Craftsman made the bricks from the clay found along the banks of the nearby Neversink river. In 1961 the school closed and the building was used as a social hall by Huguenot Fire Company. After this it stood vacant for ten years. In 1996, a group of residents decided to pool their talents and along with New York State Grants through the offices of Senator Charles Cooke and Senator John Bonacic, they began restoration of the building. In 2001 the project was completed and the school re-opened. The Schoolhouse series by Peter Koenig, consisting of Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter, pay homage to the Huguenot 1863 Schoolhouse and to those who seek to preserve this important aspect of our heritage.
Each individual Schoolhouse print measures 11×14
