Built in 1795 As A Schoolhouse

North Hall -2000; after Restoration Project
Community Development Block Grant

This building was one of the original schoolhouses in the town of Norwich. Some time in the mid 1800's an addition of an upstairs consisting of an upstairs meeting hall and extra room were added. School was held in the original schoolroom until 1934. It was referred to as the North School, and it was attended by grades 1-6 at that time. Since that time it has been used mainly as a community building for use by any local organization. Electricity was installed in 1929. Although the building is presently about 4 times its original size, the original building ( 1 room) is still easily seen.
