The cobblestone house at the right was an early school in the village of Newfane, originally called Charlotte. It was built in 1840 and stood at the corner of East and Maple avenues, but was only used as a school for about 11 years when a larger school was built at another site. It then became a home but was demolished in the early 1900s. Brookin's Inn and Suites is now located on this site.
