The old schoolhouse in Sperryville has seen various uses since the school closed. I remember it as the home of several shops including an antique store. When we were there last month, the only one of the old shops still there was a stained glass lamp shop. Headmaster's Pub was also still there, and a golf course has been adjacent to it for a few years. Between the lamp shop and the pub is now a huge game room.
I was surprised to see that part of the building is being used for education again. A sign on the side door said it is the Rapp Center for Education, Rapp being short for Rappahannock County. I see by the RappCE site that they facilitate lifelong learning and workforce training. Right now classes are postponed because all schools are closed until the threat of epidemic is under control. 
Your photos of the schoolhouse -- inside and out -- are wonderful. It's fascinating that it's been the home of so many different things. :)
ReplyDeleteGood looking building.
ReplyDeleteI'm always glad when older buildings are re-used
ReplyDelete...I love the lamps, just like Antiques Roadshow!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful lamps...I don't have many tables for one to sit upon, but have always wanted one like those. Great to see repurposed school building.
ReplyDeleteWe have similar old school that's been turned into a fabric store, all three levels. It's called Schoolhouse Fabrics!
ReplyDeleteI like that interior.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a great place to visit. I would really love that glass lamp store :)
ReplyDeleteThat school house is really red. I'm glad to see it has been given a new lease on life.
