On Sand Pit Rd., there is a small one story cobblestone which may have been a school at one time. It has an addition in the front, covered with aluminum siding. Quoins are uniform, and there are 3 rows of stones per quoin. The stones and mortar resemble those of Ala-1 Scarsborough, and appears to be grouted. Roudabush Survey page 50.
