Built in 1849, it is a well-preserved example of a 19th-century one-room schoolhouse. Now a museum operated by the local historical society, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996. It is located behind the town office building on Maine State Route 121. Description and historyThe Friends School is located in the village center of Casco, on the west side of Meadow Road (SR 121), behind the town offices and library, between the municipal parking lot and a tennis court. It is a small single-story wood frame structure, with a gabled roof and clapboard siding, and is set on concrete piers. The front facade has a single doorway on the far right, and a sash window on the far left, with a now-covered window-sized opening in the gable. The sides have three windows each. The interior has a small vestibule, which spans the building width, and a single classroom, finished in wainscoting below, and plaster on lath above.[2] The school was built in 1849, and was originally locate on Quaker Ridge Road, near the town's Quaker meeting house. It served the town's fourth district until the schools were consolidated in 1942. After passing through a number of private hands, it was given to the town, and moved to its present location in 1971. It is now maintained by the local historical society as a museum property.[2] See also
