The Marshallville School

Notes found in a ledger from Randall Marshall's store in Marshallville show a credit to John Clark on August 23, 1826: "by your bill for building school house, etc. $69.37." This one-room schoolhouse was originally located on the lane which separated the properties of Thomas Marshall and his sister Mary Seeley. About 1900 it was moved to the Godfrey farm nearby. The interior walls of this wood frame structure are coated with a crushed shell plaster. This gives them a natural white color, which was popular at the time the building was erected.
