Description du lieu patrimonial
This former schoolhouse is a one-and-one-half storey structure with a gable roof. Located on the Warren Road, it is on the south side of the Mill River on a small partially treed lot surrounded by farmland.
Valeur patrimoniale
The building is valued as an example of a former one-room schoolhouse and for its contribution to the cultural heritage of the community of Fortune Cove.
The first rural school in Fortune Cove was constructed in 1864 on the north side of the Cove. It was replaced in 1888 by the current building which was built 1 km south of the first school in order to be more centrally located. Thomas Warren won the contract to construct the school which cost him more than what he had bid.
The school was operational as Number 34, until consolidation in 1970 at which time it became a summer cottage. In recent years, the current owner has made it his full time residence.
The building retains some of its original fenestration including the six-over-six windows in the front elevation which also have their window caps.
